It Is The "Little Things" That Matter Most.......

The title of my blog can honestly sum up the entire post.  I wanted to share a memory that our family experienced last night and it was probably one of the best times that we have had together as a family.  It started off just myself and both kids in Gabes room and I was sitting in the rocking chair and they were both playing in Gabes room.  Carlos came in shortly after, so all 4 of us were together.  Gabriel has this big play house in his room and we filled  it with hundreds of balls.  We all just started to literally take balls and throw them at one another.  Little Rafa was even out for herself :)  It was every man for himself.  We were all against each other throwing these balls at one another.  We were all running around and trying to hide and hit each other with these balls.  We had balls all over our entire house and we were running from one another and kicking them.  We were all laughing so hard and rolling on the ground.  We did this for close to an hour.  It was SOOO much fun to act like a child again and create a precious family memory.  I can honestly say that Carlos and I got way more into it then the children :).

So to bring the title of my blog into this entry it is this:  The LITTLE THINGS Matter Most!!!  Do you think we could of went somewhere and spent alot of money and gave the kids lot's of presents?  Yes, we could of done that, but I honestly believe "Family Time" is MORE precious and important then spending money on one another with presents.  In our society today there are TOO many children that come from broken families to where all they want is ONE day with their families as a whole.  We are so blessed that our family has a heart for God and serves God because he has shown us favor and blessed us.  We look forward to MANY more ball fights and excited to when we move into our new home so we can have two levels for all of us to run around playing!!!!!
