A Good Reminder

Right now I have a song going through my head, four lines, over and over.



"You're gonna miss this,

you're gonna want this back.

You're gonna wish these days,

hadn't gone by so fast..."



I normally listen to Christian music, either WayFM or K-Love. On occasion I get in the mood to listen to "easy listening" radio or country. One day as I was listening to some country I heard this song and it really made me think. I'm sure it was at a time that I was frustrated with my kids, and probably even questioning whether to continue home-schooling or not, then here comes this song. It really hit me and gave me a good reminder to appreciate life right where I am at. I'm not always going to have these little ones around.



So the other night when we had two kids with us in bed, and I woke up hot and unable to move, here comes this song. I was up from 4:00am to 5:30 with this song going through my head. Of course I then thanked God for my kids and prayed over them.



May you remember to always appreciate where you are in life and see the blessings in all things.

When I was probably about your age and my kids were about the ages of your children, it was also a country song that pierced my heart, but by Reba McIntyre, "Is there life out there?" However-I can't remember the song as much as the video when she comes to the conclusion that "I've learned more from these stains than I ever learned from that paper," as she explained to her professor about the coffee stains (caused by one of her children) about her important paper...
