Remember and Appreciate

 Today is a day of remembrance.

Three years ago, we said goodbye.

It was one of those goodbyes that isn't suppose to occur.

We expected to bury hubby's father and mother in our lifetime,

but we didn't expect to say goodbye to a nephew.

Just a little boy ...

Every life can make a difference.

My mother-in-law taught me to give and give some more.

She taught me that sometimes small changes in my life can open doors of ministry.

She inspired me practically to clean more and to clean deeper.

Little Timmy taught us too, even in his very few years with us.

We learned to be more sensitive to those with special needs.

We learned a joy in just the simple events

and to rejoice in milestones that often are taken for granted.

He taught us to value life and health.

He taught us how to fight and fight hard for good things.

On our day of remembrance,

take time to be thankful.

Take time to value something in each life around you.

Don't just think of the appreciation,

convey it to that person.
