Lessons from a Band-aid...

I am babysitting a seminary couple's four year old and eighteen month old daughters for four hours every every Wendesday, and today we had a rough morning. Addi the little one cried for atleast 15 mintues, and Elli the older one was trying to pick fights with her little sister all morning, however it came to me when Elli came and climbed on my lap and said "look at my boo boo, I need a band aid." What came to me was that kids have nothing to worry about other then boo boo's, and making sure there is a binky in sight.

I realized today that if we adults looked at life like "I need a band aid" maybe we would all be in better moods, and not have so much stress in our lives. I vowed this morning to take time to slow down, look at the little things, because life should be more then "I need a band aid."
