Each Day is a Gift…

Today I am reminded that each day truly is a gift.  Early in the morning on December 3rd, grandma passed away in her sleep.  So here I sit, grieving the loss of such a dear woman and remembering the sweet memories with her.  She would patiently read stacks of books to us while we nibbled on her home-made popcorn.  My sister and I would sit on the steps eating Cheetos as she washed clothes and wrung them in the old fashioned wringer. We loved feeding the farm cats and coming in to feast on her home-made noodles.  Most of all, we treasure her humble love that she had for her family.  Each day truly is a gift.  Despite the daily demands of daily life, may we be reminded of what is important.

  • May we each be so lucky as to have people say one day, “Most of all, we treasure her [or his] humble love.”

    Thanks for sharing your memories.  I’m sorry for your loss and will pray for God’s peace to permeate your Christmas gatherings despite her absence.  Your tender-hearted memories made me feel a little jealous; I’ll look forward to meeting her someday.

  • HI Laura,
    I’m so sorry to hear of your Grandmother’s passing. They can hold such a special place in our hearts. May you be so aware of God’s presence and the comfort that He can give.
