The Importance of A Moment

The home is a special place for family to take care of each other. It is the place where we can rest from the pressures of life. This morning I awoke feeling quite unrested after a difficult night thanks to something called "false labor". I found it amazing that I was able to sit and enjoy watching the children play and learn. Before long I realized that I had gained rest & strength from taking a moment to enjoy their childish play! How often do we rush about when we feel tired and push the children into another room so we can "get things done"? They are the ones we are serving yet we feel that we have to put them out of our way in order to best "help" them. THEN I began to think about My Heavenly Father whom I serve. How often do I feel like I need to skip time for devotion to Him -where I would gain strength and rest- in order to "serve" HIM? How often do I neglect to take a moment to enjoy my Savior's face?
