Isn't it funny how at different times you notice those things that might have gone unnoticed on other days. Tonight I had one of those moments. We decided that we would make our own little personal spa, so Margaret, OB and myself thought it would be fun to do hot oil treatments on our hair. I wasn't going to let OB do one, since it's usually a girl thing, but I saw he really wanted to share in the experience. After putting the oil in our hair and letting it set, it was then time to wash it out. Margaret went first and then it was OB's turn. He climbed ontop of the counter and then when the water was turned on he began to giggle. He laughed so hard and giggled nonstop the whole time. I didn't want to even stop rinsing his precious head since he was having so much fun. I just really took the time to enjoy his special laugh. It was so innocent and just pure joy was popping out all over him.
As I was listening to his silly little giggles I had to stop and think of a family who just lost their six year old son in a car accident this past Monday. My how I know they wish they could hear his laugh one more time. This made me think, Am I really enjoying every moment to the fullest. Sometimes I think I get so carried away with things going on that I don't have control over that I forget to fully focus on the things right here. The little, simple things that are just so precious.
Lord, help me to remember the feeling I had tonight as I was listening to my special little boy giggle and help me to focus on these things. Thank you Lord for blessing me with the most wonderful gifts in the world, my wonderful babies.
