Fully in the Moment

I am reading a wonderful book called One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. In the book she starts to see all the things she is grateful for and writes them down. We as a family have started doing this and love it!!! It can be things like holding baby Judah at night, baby Abigail laughing, Micah putting my hair behind my ears, Nathan talking to me about God, hot showers, date nights with Tim, a cold dr pepper. We have had a blast doing this. One thing that I have realized is we are always in a hurry to get to the next thing and not truly living in the moment. I love how Ann said it in her book

Being in a hurry. Getting to the next thing without fully entering the thing in front of me. I cannot think of a single advantage I've ever gained from being in a hurry. But a thousand broken and missed things, ten of thousands, lie in the wake of all the rushing... Through all that haste I thought I was making up time. It turns out I was throwing it away.

I want to always live fully in the moment with my sweet husband and children!
