Frontier Dreams: The *present* is a gift

Sunday, January 1, 2017

The present is a gift

Right before his nap and as soon as he wakes up, Baby F loves to play peek-a-boo. It is the sweetest thing.

A quick run outside to see the "ice tree" that Daddy mentioned. K really wanted to bring Baby F out too so even though he was bare foot I let her take him out for about two seconds. Each child grabbed an icicle and ran back inside to the warmth of the house.

"The past is in the past, the future is in the future but the present is now and it is a gift. That is why it is called present." Wise words to remember and reflect on, said by Father Rosario in Mass today. I am taking them with me as we move on into 2017, focusing on the gift I have been given and making the most of it. Happy New Year, friends!

What a beautiful way of putting it. It's so true but so easily forgotten. I think I need to sew it up and hang it on the wall as a constant prompt. Thank you for sharing

Have you read The Precious Present by Spencer Johnson? A friend told me it was one of his favorite books, so I found a copy. It's a very short book and a quick read. I'd be happy to forward my copy to you if you'd like to read it.
