Crazy.
Hectic.
Overwhelming.
I could go on for days.
And I know I am not alone.
There are lots of us in this boat.
Only we aren't in the boat together. We are all scurrying along with our obligations or opportunities, if I may.
Why?
That is what I wonder? Why? What is the purpose of this? What is really important?
You see, to me it is not all about the sporting event or recital. Or the pictures I can put on face book. Nope. It is about the little moments I want to cherish. To remember.
I have no dreams of having a child that is recruited to play sports in college. Nope. Not important. I don't fit in. I don't care. I just can't see the importance.
It is more like this. I have dreams of cuddles and snuggles on lazy Sunday afternoons. I have dreams of family bike rides and picnics. I have dreams of vacations on the beach. I have dreams of baking cookies and planting flowers. Washing the car together and having a water fight. Reading stories and singing ridiculously loud.
Listing these dreams causes me to acknowledge how blessed I am. The purpose of this is simple. To love Him and love others. My "others" consist of these 4 little beings and my husband. I am commanded to live my dream. To cuddle and snuggle and sing and on and on. Wow!
That my friends is what is important. I am thankful I see. I am thankful for the important things.
