15 Minute Blessing

What does your husband do? Does he go into work  everyday?

For our family we are very blessed because my husband is able to work from and only has to be away for limited amounts of time. It is a great, especially when it comes to cooking as I do not do a lot of cooking. While many would thing that this would leave a lot of time for my husband, Daddy T, to spend with Little T he really has work the whole day.

Today however Daddy T was able to find about 15 minutes to do a sand picture with Little T. Little T had asked and they spent the time talking and pouring sand, there were no conflicts or anything. Little T was beyond thrilled he carried the picture around with him for the next hour and then preceded to take it to nap with him. Then tonight he would not go to bed until he had his picture.

During these 15 minutes I was able to give my mind a break and enjoy a little quite time. Which was also an unexpected surprise and much needed.

Sometime we do not realize what a blessing 15 minutes can be to those around us. Some times that 15 minutes comes in the for of doing an activity with a child, listening to a story, or having a cup of coffee with a friend. Many of the time times these 15 minute blocks of time are the ones that are remembered the most because they are the out of normal times.

I know some of my most vivid memories are not the day to day life but rather the few minutes that broke the norm and someone paid the extra time and attention to me. So as we go through our day don't forget to every now and then take 15 minutes to bless someone else by paying a little extra attention with them.
