I was laying in bed last night and was thinking about my girls and thought how little time I get to spend with them. I'm gone by 6am and get back at 5pm and then my girls go to bed between 8 and 9pm. That leaves me just 3-4 hours per night to spend with them. If I have something else to do, I get even less time with them. Last night, I had to go and fulfill a church calling. I was home by 5 and out the door at 7 and didn't get back until 9 and by that time, my girls were already asleep. It made me realize how important my time is with them. I used to gripe about doing little things like playing with them because I was busy with other things, or taking my daughter to the toilet to help reinforce potty training. I'm grateful for my girls and even more so for my wife who raises our kids up so well and takes care of all of us. What would life be without them?
I wonder...
It is easy to take for granted those who are so close to you and who love you most. We as humans allow life to get in the way and forget that knowledge and family are the only things that matter in the end. You are blessed!
