Episode 82: My Son Came Over for Dinner… And It Hit Me | Family, Gratitude & Not Missing What Matters Most

from Summit After the Storm · host Bart Wilbanks

My son came over for dinner last night.And it hit me.Jackson turns 22 this summer.And somehow…it doesn’t feel that long ago…that he was just a kid running around the house.But life moves fast.He’s grown now.Got his own life.His own schedule.And when he comes over…it means something.Because it doesn’t happen every day anymore.And the younger kids?They light up.They love it when their big brother walks through the door.There’s just a different energy in the house.More laughter.More life.More connection.And last night…I caught myself just watching it.Taking it in.Because too often…we don’t.We assume there will always be another dinner.Another conversation.Another moment.But the truth is…those moments are limited.And they go faster than we think.In this episode of Summit After the Storm, we talk about:• Why we take the best moments for granted• The importance of being present at home• How success means nothing if you miss what matters• And what the mountain taught me about slowing down📖 Psalm 118:24 — “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”Because we spend so much time chasing what’s next…That we forget to appreciate what’s now.So maybe this is your reminder:Slow down tonight.Put the phone down.Be present.Because one day…you’ll realize…these were the moments that mattered most.🎙️ Follow Summit After the Storm on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music🌐 SummitAfterStorm.comKeep climbing.
