There are many moments in my life I have regretted.
We all have them...
short tongue-misspoken word-wrong priorities-bad decision
The list goes on and on.
It's easy to think of the bad things.
But today, I'm going to think of the things I will not regret, my treasures.
I will treasure...
Snuggling in bed, with the love of my life, for a few more minutes before starting the day.
Daily cups of Hot Cocoa and Fresh Whip Cream with my children.
Snugly children on chilly mornings.
Reading in front of the fire.
Leaving the dishes to help a child with math.
Listening to a new reader stumble over words only to make it a few pages in 30 minutes.
Rubbing the back of my child until my arm is numb.
Baking with my children.
Enjoying dinner as a family.
Leaving a messy house to go on a call with my husband.
Chatting with a friend when I have a million things I should be doing.
Watching my children play sports or perform.
Kissing children goodnight and tucking them in.
Sharing Jesus with little hearts.
Reading the Bible.

.Don't have regrets.
.Today will never come again.
.Make the most of it.

The Quick Tongue got me in trouble last week. Once your tongue gets the peddle pushed, its hard to slow down! Last week, youngest son and I made a pact to help each other out - No Regrets. Glad we talked it out, and now have turned a yelling event into a giggle fest. Better results. :) We had a great Monday yesterday!!! We even included a neighbor to pray for us . . . Love it. Thanks for the encouragement to Not Regret!!! Hoppin By Hip Homeschool Mommy Blogs.
What a great reminder. We need to remember to treasure the moments we have and to make the most of them.
Thank you for sharing, this was a wonderful post!!!
God's Blessings!!!!

Annika,
This post on "no regrets" was so inspiring. Just last week I said "I have so many regrets for the first 40 years of my life, I would like to live the next 40 with no regrets!" This will be only by God's grace.
Thanks for being real.
Becky
