Don't Blink

I know I have older kids but so remember these days of play. Love the stages they are at when they are at them but still long for this time back. The expression "don't blink" really holds true. The years just fly by.....I got this in my e-mail from Drew and had to post it b/c sometimes getting caught up in the everyday things makes u loose sight of the REALLY IMPORTANT ones........don't loose sight and don't blink either.....Love Stephie

Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry, and pick you up and take you to the park to play.

Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.

Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the
backyard and blow bubbles.

Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a
tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck
and I will buy you one if he comes by.

Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about
what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision
I have made where you are concerned.

Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies,
and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.

Just for this afternoon, I will take us to McDonald's and buy
us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.

Just for this evening, I will hold you in my
arms and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.

Just for this evening, I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.

Just for this evening, I will let you stay up late while we sit
on the porch and count all the stars.

Just for this evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and miss my favorite TV shows.

Just for this evening when I run my finger
through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God
has given me the greatest gift ever given.

And when I kiss you good night I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank
God for you, and ask Him for nothing, except one more day.............
