Little Moments

Last night, I was able to enjoy one of those little moments that we often take for granted, but mean so much. My wife and I stepped out for maybe an hour and went for coffee. After getting it, we went out on the patio area and sat down to enjoy it. It was such a nice evening out. There was no heavy issues to discuss, just a little time together with some chit chat. It was exactly what I needed after a long day.

Moments like that are so important. You know, moments when there are no real demands on us, no pressure, no stress. Just little reprieves from the craziness of our lives. We need these times. Even Jesus would from time to time step away from the crowds, the questions, and the demands. Sometimes, I don't think we do enough of this. And when we get them, do we really appreciate them?

May we all make room for the "little moments" in our lives. And may we not forget to treasure them.
