I found this draft today while browsing old material. It made me smile, so I thought I would share it. It’s the little moments in life that add up to significant relationships. Take time to have little moments with people. People matter.

Here are the joys I felt today:
Butterfly kisses from my 3 year old while snuggling him at church today. That chubby little face and baby soft skin warms my heart as it brushes against my cheeks. These are moments I’ll forever cherish as a mother. I’m a little sad they are transitioning already, he being my last baby.
My other son, 8 years old, has been coming into my room at bedtime, lately, requesting to talk to me alone. I oblige, of course, and tonight he sits on my lap (which is hilarious since he’s not far from being my size) and proceeds to tell me: “Mom, sometimes people say things that just piss me off,” he says. “Make you angry,” I correct him matter-of-factly while holding off my chuckles at his firm language. “That is a more appropriate way to say it,” I reaffirm.
Laughing with my oldest daughter over a silly you tube video. I have laughed with her more than anyone over the past month or so, and it has felt so good to laugh. She is so much fun and her sense of humor is top notch!
I love those little moments where I get to see the personality in my children. It hints at their potential, and I get so excited to wonder at that potential – so excited for them! Family truly is a blessing. Feeling blessed tonight!
