REMEMBERING

I hope you will indulge me with two posts in one day.

How often do we take time to REMEMBER the people who have made a difference in our lives? Take a moment and think back to a time when you were going through a rough patch and someone stepped in to make a difference in a significant way. Maybe it was a teacher who noticed you were having trouble "fitting in" and she helped you feel safe. Or perhaps it was a neighbor who noticed you were sad and she took the time to listen to your troubles. If we stop and think about it long enough the list of kindnesses we have received in our lifetimes are innumerable. Wouldn't it be nice just to remember a few?

So, go ahead, take just minute and REMEMBER someone who has been good to you. What did he or she do that touched you deeply? How did you respond to their kindness? Have you ever told them how they made a difference? Would you want to tell them again? If you haven't ever told that person the impact they have had on you, would you want to now?

If you do, feel free to let us know how it went. REMEMBERING...a way to relive the gift...ACKNOWLEDGING...a way to share the gift!
