It's 3 am again

and the only ones in the house awake are Kallison and I, she slept right through her 10p feeding so she woke up hungry, but not crying which is good :). Its funny when the house is completely quiet (except for turbo snoring) how relaxing it is to snuggle with the babies. They don't want anything except the love of their parents which is pretty amazing, especially when they look right into your eyes and give you the biggest smile you can imagine. They don't care about the toys we buy them, how much money we make, or anything else they just want our love which we are happy to give.

As they get older I hope that we are able to instill into them that "things" are not important, what matters is not the size of your bank account, but the size of your heart. I want them to understand that giving is much more rewarding than receiving and this is an uphill battle. We see it everyday in our society where our kids are taught that you have to have XYZ brand of clothes, drive a fancy car, and have the "finer" things in life to be successful and happy. In the end these things will all fade and we are left with only the relationships we have built. The guy from the Mercedes dealership will not be at your funeral, but the people who you mattered to most will be.

Kristi and I made a conscious decision to cut our cable off last Spring and sure we may miss some of our shows (HGTV, and the Cowboys), but we certainly don't miss being bombarded with commercials portraying this false happiness. One day I'm sure we will turn it back on, but for now I am a fan of not having it on. I don't miss it being on in the background all day, and certainly don't miss the $75 bill :). Well I am off to bed we are going to church in the morning and going to see how we can give back to a church that has given so much to us.
