I read for the first time a quote by Jesse Jackson that was one of those quotes that made me go, “Whoa.” It made me stop and think about my priorities, and re-read the quote a second time.
 

Here’s the quote: “Children need your presence more than your presents.” – Jesse Jackson; a simple, to the point, and a powerful message.
 

I immediately thought about the quality time I spend with our kids, as well as those times when I’m so busy that I don’t take the time, or stop what I’m doing to focus on what’s most important to our kids.
 

To me, it may seem like an “interruption, ” but for our kids, it’s an “opportunity to share” and if don’t set aside what I think is important at that very moment I could miss MY “opportunity” to share in the moment with one of our kids.
 

My “presence” is certainly more important than any present, and if I’m continually present in the moment with our kids, I’ll be the one receiving a “present” from our kids.
