Today is my son’s first birthday. He’s napping right now (or at least he’s supposed to be) and I’m sitting here thinking about how fast life passes by. When I look at my kids I’m constantly amazed by how big they are because it seems like it was just the other day that I held each of them for the first time.

I’m reminded today that I need to make the most of it. Every day with my little boy and my precious girl is a gift that I will only get one time. Its a gift that I dare not waste. Every moment of every day has value and I pray that I won’t squander any of them. There is too much to do, too much to see, too much to live, and too much to love to slow down for even a moment.
