The best part of my day was giving the little one my undivided attention. I had a paper due, blog post to write, house to clean up, and a book launch to prepare for…But, I told myself everything must wait. Being present with the little one brought me joy, hugs and kisses, and everything fell in place afterwards.
My paper was submitted, blog post is about to be posted, and preparation for my book launch can wait till tomorrow.
Being present with the little one today reminds me of A Little Longer by Jenn Johnson.
My favorite parts of the song:
Then I hear You say
You don’t have to do a thing
Simply be with me and
Let those things go
They can wait another minute
Wait this moment
Is too sweet
Please stay here with me
And love on Me a little longer
‘Cause I’m in love with you
So I’ll wait here at Your feet
It’s where I want to be
Your voice I’ll follow
Jesus You are
Everything to me
And I’ll pour out my life
Worship at Your feet
Love on You a little longer
‘Cause I’m in love with You
When we put God first, everything else falls in place. When we purpose in our hearts to chase what matters, things will begin to fall in place. Be present in God’s presence. Be present during family time. More than we can imagine, our children long for us to notice them and be present with them. I am talking to me.
Thank you for your support.
