Kairos

Kairos time: "It’s time outside of time. It’s metaphysical time. Kairos is those magical moments in which time stands still. I have a few of those moments each day, 
and I cherish them."

The quote above was written by one of my favorite bloggers, Glennon of the Momastery blog.  The link below is to one of my favorite posts. 

Glennon talks about different types of time, Chronos and Kairos.  Chronos time is real time, clock ticking, checking your watch, got to get somewhere, time for dinner time.  Kairos time is life's pause button, it's stopping to smell the roses, it's seeing all the beautiful detils, it's taking time to appreciate, to notice, it's all the special moments that often get jumbled and missed as we go through each day's ordinary motions.  

Kairos moments today: 

1. The sound of Brian talking to Finley early this morning when he thought I was sleeping.
2. Watching Brian fold Fin's tiny clothes and put them away.
3. Cuddling on the couch during Finley's nap time, with a silent but powerful new appreciation of each other.
4. The way Brian showed her every colorful label in the grocery store.
5. Laughing at her, laughing at us.
