Life’s Little Moments

One of “BiBi’s Blessings” sent to my children:

“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12

On our trip to Israel, we sat beside a family who had a little boy, about 3 yo I think. Both parents looked exhausted and preoccupied. As the plane ascended, the mother put her head on the headrest and closed her tired eyes, the dad took out a newspaper, and the little boy stared out the window.

As the plane went higher and higher, the child tried desperately to get the attention of his parents. “MOMMY!! DADDY!!!” he said several times….all to no avail. Both parents remaining oblivious, he finally blurted out his question to anyone who would hear him, “Is that the wooold?”

His mommy and daddy missed it.

He was overcome with the fascination and wonder of seeing the “woooold” from a whole new perspective and they missed it.

It broke my heart for them because they will never know what they missed.

Life is so full of little moments. My prayer for you, my beloved ones is that you, like the little boy will continue all your lives to be overcome with the wonders of life and that as much as is humanly possible, you will never miss the sweet moments that come and then are gone forever, only to live on in your memory.
