What’s Next?

“What’s next?”

I heard Annora say that throughout Christmas and I was getting a little annoyed.  I kept reminding myself that she is a little one and the excitement has been building for quite a while…just breath mom…

“Stop and enjoy the blessings you have in front of you!” I kept saying. I said it all evening Saturday and all day Sunday. I also reminded her that some kids don’t get any presents at all…to be grateful.

I woke up pretty early yesterday morning and started reflecting on the holiday season, the hustle and bustle of Christmas traffic and then…life in general. You know what I immediately thought…

“What’s next?”

I felt God reminding me to “Stop and enjoy the blessings you have in front of you Mary!” Live in the moment and stop looking so far ahead to “what’s next.”

So….

CHEERS to living for the now! I’m going to go snuggle my little ones and not worry so much about “what’s next!”
