Last night, our family went to see the movie, The Avengers. It was as good as we had anticipated it would be. Becky and I looked down the row of movie theater seats and saw each of our four children and wondered how the time has gone so fast and how quickly they have grown up. Brady has been excited about seeing this movie since it first was released and by watching him throughout the movie, I believe he was pleased.
I don't believe that there is too much time that we can spend together as a family. The lyrics of a song I heard on the radio ring so true to my ears. "Don't work your life away, spend the time wisely because that time might not come to you tomorrow." That song hit me. I don't even know who the artist is and what the title of the song is, but it touched me to the very core of my heart.
It is in our control to dictate how we spend our time. I hold out a personal belief that the quality time we spend with our family will pay dividends that will last throughout this life and throughout the eternities.
I'm not talking about our family members being in the same house and calling that family time. I'm talking about personal investment with our spouse and children. These valuable times will get us through the tough times, that surely lie ahead. It is these times that solidify relationships that are concrete and immovable.
I love my family and I want them to always know that without reservation.
Our quality time should never get old. If it does, then make the necessary changes to make it great!
