It's The Little Things.
Over at a blog I visit that has become one of my new favorites,Princess Banter has a post about money. She got me thinking (which is why I love her blog) about the things my family does because we don't have a lot of extra cash. Let's face it. If I could afford to whisk my children off to Disneyland, I would do it because I love to see their faces light up and shine when they do something really big and amazing.
Yet, some of the happiest I've ever seen them is when we've packed a bunch of coolers, sleeping bags and our tent and headed off to Shanty Creek.
How can I resist those two little faces as they get excited that they're going to Shanty Creek. It's like their Valhalla, their heaven. So, it reminded me today that it isn't the trips to Disneyland or a cruise or some elaborate vacation that will stick with them. It's the times they went fishing with Daddy. And the times they went for walks with Mama. They'll remember the TIME, not the money, I spent with them.
So, do I wish I had a million dollars? Hell no. I wish I had more time, more energy, more patience to love the people in my life. But maybe time is just like money. The more we have, the less grateful for it we are. I'll put it in God's hands......and go hug my kids.
What little things mean the world to you?
