A Moment

Our family likes to take a "moment" before we eat our meal. Other families may call it a prayer, but whatever you call it, it's just a time for us to get re-centered, reconnected and focus on what we are grateful for. Sometimes we get out of practice with this, especially because Jeff works late Mon-Th, which is what has happened as of late.

Tonight I sat Caleb down for dinner on his own, while Jeff and my dinner continued to cook. Out of the blue, this is what came out of my wonderful little man (keep in mind that as a speech therapist, I like to dictate language exactly how it is spoken by a child), "Mom, a please take a moment." I replied, "Of course. Do you want to lead us in the moment?" "Yeah." We then held hands and Caleb's moment went like this, "I wanna sink (think) about food and it will be longer and longer, and now I wanna watch Sesame Street, please. Amen."

I'm not sure if this was just an extra cute way to get Sesame Street on while he ate dinner, but it sure was a great reminder to just take a moment to be grateful for all that we have. Amen.
