It wasn't until I layed in bed putting Asher to sleep, the words from the message washed over my soul. I realized how much I rush through life. Day to day I find myself rushing through everything. How quickly can I get Asher down for his nap so that I can take care of things that I want to do? How many times have I left him to play by himself so that I can check my unimportant emails, or catch up on my missed tv shows? Even rushing through the days and weeks until its time to see my family again, instead of enjoying each day that the Lord has given me with my sweet baby and my husband. Each day is perfect in its own way. I know this in my heart, so why is it so hard to just slow down?
Laying in bed beside my sweet baby boy, whose not such a baby anymore, I realized that God has given me such a precious gift in Asher. He was not a plan of Kenny's or of mine, but God planned for us to have him at this time. He will not be a baby, or even a little boy for very long. He wont give me his sweet baby kisses, run to me with arms wide open, or cry because he just wants to sleep with Mama and Daddy for much longer. It makes me sad to think about the day that its no longer "cool" to spend time with Mama or give hugs and kisses. I need to slow down before my life disappears and I've missed out on the important things.
Here's just a nugget of scripture that I need to meditate on and remember when I let life get so busy that I dont take time out for what's important.
whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. (James 4:14 NKJV)
