As the week draws to a close we head towards an extra long weekend. And boy, doesn’t it come at the right time? For some, it’s time to get away, camping or travelling with family. For others, it’s time to catch up on all those jobs that get away from us as the busy-ness of our lives takes over.
As we head towards it, we are reminded of how fleeting time is, and how fleeting childhood is. It seems before we know it, our children are heading out into the world with all we have given them, and we hope it’s both roots and wings.
And we are reminded, and remind you, to take a moment to grab hold of these short and precious moments. The washing will wait (it already has)…but those little hands and toes are only this small once. Take a moment with your family to watch the clouds drift by, to soak in the last of the autumn sun, to breathe in your children, to really be.
Perhaps in being together we will gain the memories that sustain us until our next long weekend…
