Journey Through Life

Last night our ward had an Enrichment with the theme Journey Through Life...I felt really inspired after leaving. We had a progressive dinner, but at every house we talked about something to make our journey through life better. The first was to have GRATITUDE...being grateful will make you a happier person and make life a little easier. At the main dish we kind of had a get to know you game. The last stop was wonderful! It was about SAVORING THE MOMENTS OF LIFE...taking 2-3 times a day and stop and think about that moment. One of her comments was that we have all stopped to look at a sleeping baby or child and think how precious they were, but have we stopped to look at our children playing and think the same. How many times do we say, "hurry" to our little kids or families? Instead, we need to appreciate the MOMENTS in our life. I am totally guilty of this...I say "hurry" or "let's go" all the time...I guess this was for me. I need to slow down and enjoy the MOMENTS of life. It reminded me of a saying that I love...LIFE is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. Just a little inspiration...hope you have a great day!

Thanx for sharing. I hate how busy life is and maybe if I was on time a little more, I wouldn't have to say "hurry" as often either. What a good message
