Today, I watched a video that not only made me cry, but that also made think hard about the finite time I have been given to be a daddy to Harrison. He is not yet two years of age, and already I have sensed myself taking our time together for granted.
I have been impatient when I should have been patient. I have sent him away when I should have scooped him into my arms. I have raised my voice when I should have spoken with loving authority. I have allowed the little things in life to be little things when I should be cherishing every moment.
How quickly we become dulled to the miracles of God.
Today’s post is one to help me remember the things I need to remember, and I ask for parents of any age (dads especially) to be a part of this. Please take a moment to write a comment telling about something in your parenting to which you wish you would have paid more attention, or something you always try to keep in mind as you raise your children. What things seemed like a big deal that really weren’t? What things seemed trivial that were actually more important than you realized? What’s one thing you would do differently? What would you do the same?
