As of late, I have been convicted and find myself guilty of being preoccupied with all of the things that I think have to be done.  And in my busyness, I have missed opportunities to seize the moment of being present

Our family was getting together and my son’s family had just gotten to our house.  As our grandsons were coming inside, our next to youngest grandson came running in shouting, “Hey everybody, I’m here!”  He wanted to make sure that everyone knew he had arrived!
