The turn of the year always beckons me to reflect and reconsider how I have been doing this one life that I have been given. In the reflection there's a clarity that it is not about a single moment that has changed me, grown me over the past 365 days, but it is a thousand single moments that have shaped and framed me to be alive for today. A thousand conversations, a thousand words read, a thousands prayers whispered, a thousand hugs shared. When all the moments add up, I am changed.
Last fall, Sally Clarkson did a series on encouraging moms. She is all about being intentional with your family in the single moments. A thousand intentional moments speaking into the lives and hearts of our children, changes not only their lives, but ours as well. Below are several links to individual posts related to being intentional with our children. Blessings as you read.
