I have gone round and round trying to choose my most meaningful moment from the past year.
To be honest, the most meaningful THING in my life is my family.
But a MOMENT? Every time I asked myself, “What is my most meaningful moment… what is my most meaningful moment???”… the pictures that flash through my mind are moments with my family.
My little family of 5.
One might expect these moments to be extraordinary… they have to be extraordinary to be meaningful, right?
I don’t think that they do. In fact, I believe the opposite is true. When I close my eyes to consider my most meaningful moment – that one moment is a compilation of simple moments with my family. Dinner together… conversations in the car… the random moments when life catches us all off-guard and we all wind up in a fit of laughter. The moments when we step-up to serve each other, comfort each other, and even push the buttons of each other.
My most meaningful moment is this overall snapshot of a young family living life together. Together. See? Beautiful…
My oldest is 12. I am keenly aware that this time… the 5 of us living under the same roof, packed into the same car … sharing mealtime after mealtime after mealtime together… is short. We have more years behind us than ahead.
That thought? … It causes me to catch my breath.
But on a lighter note… there was ONE moment. Though it was meaningful on some level, my son would probably choose the word EPIC:
