There are days that I just can't wait for bedtime, not mine, but the kids. I know I should cherish every moment with them, but there are just some days when I would like some quiet. It seems that with 4 kids in the house there is lots of noise, chaos and just constant something going on. A friend reminded me last week how quickly these days pass. I know that there will come a day when I wish for the noise and even some (or all) of the chaos.
My mom reminds me, often, "This Too Shall Pass". I know my kids are growing up. I know I won't have them in my arms, or even under our roof for long. Everyone always says, "they grow up so fast".
So my prayer is this, "Jesus, Help me to love each minute I have with my children and make each moment count. Help me to make memories that will last a lifetime."
Do you cherish every minute with your kids or do you long for bedtime?

Oh Jan, I have to admit that sometimes bedtime can't come soon enough. But it is usually on those nights that I sneak back into their rooms after they are asleep and just stare at their little bodies and thank Jesus for them.
To answer your question, "bedtime."
