It’s all about attitude. Check your attitude about your obligations in life. Are you making the time or taking the time?
If you take time for something like organizing or putting the kids down for bed you are, in essence, stealing time from something else you would rather be doing.
This hit home last night as I was putting my 15 month old down for bed. I was sitting in the dark with him holding him and rocking him. He was relaxed and laying his head on my shoulder. Then he just out of the blue lifted his head up and pressed his lips to mine and started babbling as 15 months old do. He was smiling and so happy to be with me. We then continued to give each other what we call nose kisses as we press our noses to one another and nod our heads back and forth as we laugh. He then layed his head back on my shoulder and went to sleep.
What a moment! I so often dread putting the kids to sleep because it takes time from all the other things that I feel are pressing. The raising of my children is oh so important and I want to MAKE the time and give them my all when I am with them.
It is only then that I can enjoy such moments as the one I shared with my son last night.
