Thought for Today...

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back
and realize they were the big things.
-   Robert Brault

This reminds me of some of the little things that I've noticed in our family lately:

Little sister (4) brushing big sister's hair (8) last evening while their dad read to them.

The 2 little girls (4 & 5) almost always hold hands and walk together when we go out.

Big sister (8) gets up early, early in the a.m. to hug and kiss Daddy good-bye when he leaves for work. 

Middle sister always lets her sisters go first, whether it's snack-time, bath-time, or giving us a hug at bedtime.  She always wants others to go ahead of her, and makes sure that if you give her something- the other 2 get some too. 

Big sister helping middle sister learn to swim and being the first one to assist her when she yells for help. 

I'm wondering if any of these things would be happening if my girls weren't home together each day, living and learning together.  Growing together.  None of these things are things that the world would call important.     But I think they may just somehow be the "big things", the things that are really important.
