Time

On Sunday, I woke up to a sick little boy. Since it was Father's Day, I let Michael decide whether he wanted to take Samantha to church or stay home. Since there was throwing up involved, he decided to go to church (go figure)!

At church, Samantha was getting a little antsy. She kept telling Michael that she wanted to go play with the kids (that means she wants to go to Nursery). Finally, he showed her his watch and told her when the big hand pointed to that number, it would be time to go. She held the watch, staring at it for a minute, then shook it and told her dad, "Its not working!!!"

There are so many times when I feel the same way. Time seems to either stand still or move so quickly I can't catch a minute. Its funny how every single day has the same hours, but some days seem to last for a few hours less while others seem to drag on forever. As I thought about this phenomenon, I realized that, when all put together, nothing seems to last that long. As a whole, life seems to be speeding on quickly. Sometimes I get so caught up looking at what I want to happen next, or what I'm dreading next, that I forget that right now is a great place to be! I've been trying to live in the now lately. Every morning I try to thank my Heavenly Father for one more day to be a wife and a mom. I thank Him for one more day to be alive. For one more day to progress and learn. I thank him for one more day to enjoy all the blessings I have. And I've noticed, that days that I do this, I really do enjoy my day. The blessings that are around me every second and so much better than they have been. So, as my day flies by or slowly drags on, I have my own challenge to enjoy it! Love every minute! After all, now it what we have.
