My baby started sitting up all by herself yesterday, suddenly she seems so much older as she's just sitting there playing with her toys. Reminds me again how time keeps moving... so often I can tend to think in the "some day"way like someday I'll have better habits, someday I"ll do my devos everyday, someday I'll have it all together for my kids..the list keeps going.
In our little family we are learning not to live in the  "someday" as much and live in the  "today."  Life keeps moving, the days go by, the seasons change, our kids keep growing & learning things from us by watching us and seeing how we react to everyday things. (that can be scary!) We've had enough reminders that tomorrow isn't promised, your whole world as you know it can completely change in just one day.
Ever since my cousins funeral this past summer, a young dad of 26 who left the house on another regular day but didn't come home again after a car accident,  since Mark and I sat through the service remembering his life with other family members, thinking back to our own situations where we faced it,  we have been touched and softened Once again to how fragile and fast life is and to live each day to the fullest and also  as parents to be all we can be for our kids.  For us that challenge has helped us in our everyday devotions with our kids, taking that time out to sit with them and try to teach them in the way we believe we are responsible to do. It's amazing the little things in life that can remind me of this, like seeing how my little girl is growing up, or hearing of a friend who another love one has left this world, so many reminders and yet Always a challenge to us to love those around us, don't take them for granted, take your time to pour into their lives, life is short lived.
