Tuesday Morning...Very Early!!!

Something to think about this morning....who would it be???  I can think of a couple of folks I'd like to see this morning, a loved one from way back, a someone who was special and well loved and, although called back, is never out of heart and mind.   We all have folks we treasure.

One of the wonders of our world is our memory . . . how lucky we are to have a mind that retains some of the wonders of our life time.   We can sit quietly and close our eyes and remember...ah remembrance a gift in life.  Some days the mind recalls very early times and we can recall family members, friends, and events from long ago.  Memories are a blessing for the most part, even though we have a few that are sad because someone we cared about was called before his or her time;  according to us;  but not by the time issued at his or her birth.  It is amazing when you stop and think about the 'parade of folks' that have marched through our lives.  It is a wonder that they stay clear in mind and heart.  Stop and visit your past awhile and think of the people who have become a heart filled memory complete with the love and laughter shared during our life time.  A time to remember each one who contributed some love and laughter ...and maybe a tear...to add to our memory bank and the overflow of love we feel.  How lucky we are.

So today, stop at a church of your choice and light a candle of remembrance and offer up a prayer for the soul of the departed.   Spend a little time remembering the good and the bad times, the love and the laughter, the tears of sadness and joy and the love that never leaves the soul.    And it is okay to light one for me as I can use a bit of love and laughter.  I'll keep you in mind when I next stop to light a candle.  Today is going to be a good day, so go....enjoy every second.  Hugs to all.
