Last night my daughter asked me to go jogging with her. (Now you need to know I don't like to run. I enjoy Basketball or other team sports, but running...boring) However, my daughter (11) asked me to run with her. So I proceeded to change and get ready to run, honestly, not to excited about it.
As we started to run, I found that she has this long stride, nearly as long as mine and I'm 6' 3"! So as we jogged we talked. We talked about a lot of different things... and we laughed...and we laughed. Sometimes we had to stop running and walk because we were laughing so much.
This run was good for the heart... in more ways than one. Then as I came in because she went over to her friends house, I thought to myself, "These are rich moments." I felt good about running and I felt good about spending time with my daughter.
Darius Rucker has a song called "It Won't Be Like This For Long." I think it says it all, especially the last few lines. Listen for yourself please...
Please spend time with your kids. It does a heart good.
