Defining Moments

To each in life we experience defining moments that determine our proximity to that which matters most. This book by Hoyt Brewster provides a wonderful glimpse into the decisions we make in life, whether they are seemingly significant or insignificant at the time, they become defining moments in our lives that set our course accordingly. A great and timely read. As we ponder our circumstances, may we each look with perspective to that which matters most, realizing the eternal perspective of He whose love is without measure. One of my favorite texts in the Book of Mormon, "it mattereth not..."

After spending a few hours with Matthew and Jack at the hospital last night, as Jack was recovering, having fallen from his and Annie's bunkbed ladder (He is alright!), it causes thought and reflection on the precious moments of life; the joys that come of the tender mercies afforded to each of us. In the stress of parenting, it is beneficial to look to the precious, tender and nurturing moments, and not get caught in the press of the moments. Mom once had a great cross stitched saying about cobwebs and housekeeping can wait, but time with my little ones cannot. How much we appreciate who each of our sons and daughters have become.
