A Perfect Moment

Have you ever experienced a perfect moment? A moment when you couldn't decide if you needed to laugh or cry to express all of the emotions in your heart?

I spent this past weekend with a family that means the absolute world to me. They are some of my oldest and very dearest friends, people too precious for me to even say. It was heaven.

Yesterday we went out on the boat and there was a moment, as my Dad was crusing around the lake that I experienced this perfection. Asher lay blissfully asleep in my arms as Noble laughed through his "king of the world" trip at the front of the boat. I looked around and saw my dear friends, my hudband, my parents, and my beautiful children and I was overwhelmed with gratitude.

There are so many things in my day to day life in which I might be disappointed. I wish a hope or dream came to pass. I wish I were more patient. I wish Noble would make better choices sometimes. I wish I could be more content. I wish, I wish, I wish. But there, in the midst of my own disappointments or struggles, I was reminded of how incredibly blessed I am.

Surrounded by those who love me and who I love beyond description, sharing in each other's lives. It all came into focus. This is what really matters. Who am I there for? Who is there for me? At that moment, this is what I needed to remember, and God graciously provided the reminder.
