the clothes are folded on the couch but not put away
there is a giant fort in the living room
the beds aren't made
the bathrooms are not spotless
but yesterday when i crawled in this fort and brought with me oreo cookies
their faces
their conversation
that was being in the present
living in the now
not thinking about the number of days till school starts or till christmas comes
but just loving that minute
i then looked over at my son after putting little girl down for nap
and said what are you doing as he lay across a bench with his hands on his chest
he replied by showing me a heart with hands and saying
"i'm showing my heart to God and saying I love you to Him"
that was being in the present
living in the now
loving God right then and right there

Thankful God is always present with us, where ever we are, what ever we are doing. He says I'll be there.
