Growing up my annoyance level was really high. Small things such as smacking on gum or making noise would irritate me. As I got older I learned how to deal with these minor nuisances. But then I became annoyed about bigger things. My husband is always so cool and calm. The things that annoy me don’t even bother him. When we were dating he shared with me that he was apart of 911 at the Pentagon and almost lost his life. After that occurrence he realized that the small things didn’t matter. Just earlier today I was in a car accident that totaled my brand new car, but by the grace of God, my husband and I walked away with minor scratches. This reminded me that the small things really don’t matter. Whether someone smacks on gum, it really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of life. Time is so precious and those moments should be focused on spending time with you love ones and enjoying the time God has given us on earth.

Lesson #2: The small things don’t matter so please enjoy each and every moment. Time is precious.
