Learning from my child

As a homeschooling mother I enjoy the daily opportunities I have to teach my children.  However, there are many times that my children also teach me.  As part of my resolution to savor life I am trying to see those moments instead of passing them by. 

One such moment happened with my second daughter.  Her daily job is to set the table before meals.  I am always explaining how we want the table to be pretty and special for the rest of the family as they sit down to the meal.  She took it to heart and gathered as many of her treasures as she could find and left one beside each of our plates. She decided that wasn't enough so she took the time and made everyone a card as well. Needless to say each one of us left that meal feeling special.  She did not put  off doing something good for her family for another day, she just did it. So many times I have to plan out and see where I can fit something special in.  I need to follow her example and just do it... today.
