I had a chance to go to the movies this past weekend. One of the themes brought out in the particular movie that Jen and I saw was that moments matter. The idea was that life is full of moments, and sometimes moments have the opportunity to change things significantly. One moment can alter all the moments that follow that pivotal moment. Consider the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, David and Goliath, the Flood, etc. Those are just a few of the numerous events from the Bible that show how much moments matter. The more I thought about that whole concept, the more I realized the value of not just the "big moments," but the regular, every day moments. I came to realize that every moment is significant when the moment is spent with another person. Relationships matter. Therefore, moments matter. The moments parents spend with their children matter. Even the moments spent disciplining, correcting, training, and teaching are important. So do the moments on vacation, playing together, and hanging out at home. Parenting isn't all fun, but the moments matter. The moments spent now with your kids do change things significantly - for their future.
