Quote of the Day 2/4/14

"Be present in the hard moments. The lonely moments, the phone calls, the hospital visits, the vigilant prayers for friends in need, the bad dreams, the funerals, the breakups, the airport goodbyes, the job losses, the regretting, the painfully awkward moments, the failures. The sad tears. 

Be present in the wonderful moments. The sunrises, the engagements and weddings, the babies, the concerts, the stargazing, the laughing, the long hugs, the airport hellos, the kisses, the art, the breakfasts with friends, the midnight snacks, the notes from pen-pals, the best friend sleepovers, the road trips. The God moments. The joy. The happy tears. 

Be present in all of that, and the in-between too. The taxes and emails and grocery shopping and checkbook-balancing. 

Be present in all of it."  [Author Unknown]
