This is currently our favorite quote from our soon to be four year old . As you can imagine, at this age he's doing so many cute things, which then inspires one to kiss his chubby little cheeks. So we ask for kisses, and wait for his reply. " Justa one more kiss " he says with a knowing smile. We find ourselves asking on purpose, but then never sticking to the one kiss limit, it's just not possible :) We played this little game just this evening.
After putting him to bed, my thoughts turned to all the victims of the tragedy in Boston today, and the victims of recent school shootings. So many people that only got one final kiss from their loved one before they were gone in an instant. What they wouldn't give to get just one more. I just can't imagine. So often I get upset over trivial things, while others are longing for just one more minute with a loved one. Life is so precious , yet so fleeting. May we be thankful for every moment that God gives us, and not sweat the small stuff.
