What if every day was Remembrance Day? What if we were conscious of our daily blessings that most of us enjoy in this great country — remembering to thank our Provider?
It must please our Heavenly Father when His children respond with a grateful heart.
Nothing makes this Grandma's heart feel more blessed than when she has her family surrounding her at the dining table.
Thus, it was this past weekend, when 14 family members were reunited once again.
What a delight to watch the camaraderie between siblings, cousins, nephews and sister and brother in-laws —catching up on the latest happenings in each of their lives! My one-and-only great grandchild (to date), two-year-old Evie, stole the show, "wow-ing" everyone with her vocabulary and natural ability to entertain.
Everyone willingly offered their culinary talents, creating a smorgasbord of delicious dishes.
— blending voices as we recalled
No doubt, we all felt a great sense that these shared moments, were to be treasured.
These are the moments we'll look back upon and cherish.
So many things make you unique. You are important in God's plan and highly-valued by Him.
As I think of each of you, I renew my goal to seek God more earnestly in my daily prayers, on your behalf.
My desire is to be a living example of God's love and grace — an encourager to each of you as you journey through life.
Grantland Rice, a gifted sports writer in the first half of the 20th Century, wrote a little poem for which posterity will probably remember him best.
It says: "For when the one great scorer comes to write against your name, he marks not that you won or lost, but how you played the game."
Carpe diem; Seize the day.
Carpe deum; Seize God.
— beulah
