MOMENTS IN TIME ARE VERY PRECIOUS! LETS MAKE EACH MOMENT COUNT, SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE. IN THE MIDST OF CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS, STOP AND THINK- WHAT IS IT REALLY ABOUT! TAKE A MOMENT! MY DAUGHTER ACTUALLY SAYS THAT! WE GO TO CINCO'S AND WE COME OUT AND SHE ALWAYS SAYS LETS TAKE A MOMENT, AND WE SIT ON THE BENCH AND LAUGH AND SMILE AT EACH OTHER! ITS THE BEST! I TREASURE THOSE MOMENTS ALWAYS!
READ BELOW A FORWARD THAT I GOT FROM A FRIEND! REALLY HELPED ME TO STOP AND TAKE A MOMENT!

*Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry,

and pick you up and take you to the park to play.

*Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes

in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of

yours together.

*Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and

keep the computer off, and sit with you in the

backyard and blow bubbles.

*Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a

tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the

ice cream truck and I will buy you one if he comes by.

*Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are

going to be when you grow up, or second guess

every decision I have made where you are concerned.

*Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me

bake cookies, and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.

*Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy

us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.

*Just for this evening, I will hold you in my arms and tell you

a story about how you were born and how much I love you.

*Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and

not get angry.

*Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit

on the porch and count all the stars.

*Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours,

and miss my favorite TV shows.

*Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair

as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God

has given me the greatest gift ever given.

*I will think about the mothers And fathers who are searching
for their missing children, the mothers and fathers who are

visiting their children's graves instead of their bedrooms, and

mothers and fathers who are in hospital rooms watching

their children suffer senselessly, and screaming

inside that they can't handle it anymore.

*And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter,

a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and

ask Him for nothing, except one more day.............
