The other day Brant and I were working very diligently on a project and I was ready for a break (of course this includes food) so I started to cook dinner and cal
led to my sweet hubby when it was on the table. I had Cade in his highchair feeding him when Brant came into the room. He sat for a few minutes, but like any driven person he was still thinking about our project...a few minutes eating then a thought and back to the office for something, then back to the table to inhale 2 more bites. Then he would call to me from the office and ask a question...well after a few minutes of this pattern I was getting flustered. I said, "Brant I will answer your question after you finish your food." This was said to help him see that I wanted to have some family eating time at the table, but I was definitely using a tone that told him I was frustrated. He came to the table and said, "Sorry, its dinner time." He put down his pen and totally changed his mind set to family time instead of project time. I was floored! My wall of frustration was demolished with those words and actions....it was great! Then he started to tell me about how the Lord had been teaching him to be "fully present" even in the everyday, mundane, tasks of life. It is always a great reminder to be fully present. Don't get too caught up in what will happen later or whether or not you will catch "Swine Flu" (H1 N1) just enjoy your life and those around you. Spend time with them...Make memories you will never forget!! But for those of us that are procrastinators....Don't forget to get things done...listen to our driven counterparts God gave them to us for a reason (so we will get things done!) Love the ones around you and take joy in the time you have with them!! Be a blessing today!
