Meaghan and the girls were gone last night and I had this weird moment when I realized the entire house was quiet (needless to say, but quiet moments are rare at our house with 3 small children that are full of life).

The thought crossed my mind that before I know it, the house will be quiet again once the children have grown up and gone on to live their lives.

This reminded me that my time with the kids will be short and that I should cherish that opportunity.

Yesterday I wrote about the opportunity each of us has to believe in others and to encourage them through our belief.

Last night was a reminder that we don’t have forever to do it.

Our time to make an impact on others is short.

So, consider this a reminder. Don’t miss your opportunity to impact someone else.

If you believe in them, show them today.

If you love them, show them today.

Take action now. Don’t let the days pass you by.

Make it a great day.
