There are some moments in life that are so sweet you wish you could revel in them and keep them with you forever. This weekend I had one of those moments. It wasn't a moment that will change my life but it was a moment that filled my heart.

Every 4th of July Chad's family has a reunion with his dad's side of the family. We rode out to Arkansas to attend on the bike (and believe me, the bike is a whole other post) and we had a great time. Chad's family really does it up which is so unlike my family. We played whiffle ball and badminton. The Kings get together but it takes a wedding or something of that nature to get us all there and we would definitely never play whiffle ball. But Chad's family has included me completely and even though we are not married yet they have now become my family as well.

We were about to eat lunch and were in a circle to pray before we ate and I got to hold Chad's niece, Faith's hand. Faith is 3 and is "little miss personality". She will have you laughing in stitches in seconds of meeting her. While the prayer was going on Faith looked up at me and smiled in a way only a child can that will pull at your heartstrings. We spent the prayer smiling at each other and blowing kisses. When I whispered 'I love you' to her she so sweetly whispered back 'I love you too' and then promptly yelled 'SO MUCH'!

If I could have stopped time and recorded that moment I know I would play it every time I was sad or mad or depressed. Thank goodness God allows us to have these little blessings that keep us going.
