Magic of the Moment

Embracing the magic of the moment is never more evident then when you watch a child. Be it the taste of an ice cream cone, the cool breeze that makes their arm hairs stand on end or noticing that the  clouds look like a dinosaur, little children embrace the magical moments in their daily.  This magic is something that we seem to loose as adults, only to realize it on major milestones.  We go from children who have these moments 4, 5, 10 times a day to people who have them once a year if they are lucky.  Does this have to happen?  I believe not. 

 

We pause here with our story to embrace this magical moment of Megan and Will on their wedding day.  One of the most magical moments on a wedding day is the first time the groom sees his beautiful bride.  The look of awe in his face is a priceless moment which will be forever etched in each others memories.  This was their moment.  We share and celebrate with them of their magical day through these images. 

Having 3 little boys under the age of seven has taught me this lesson more profoundly than anything else has. As I have grown older I have lost much of the magic in my life. Oh sure, I take in the magic of the major events in my adult life (my wedding, the birth of my children, Kaleb’s first day of school) but I had lost much of the daily moments of magic.

Having my life filled with children has helped me return to this state.  As I see them filled with glee over the smallest details in life, I find myself caught up in their magic.  I am happier now enjoying these simple moments than I was trying to create larger than life events as an adult.
