the family room

The family room. Its where no one wants to be. To sit down with the preacher and visit about the life of a loved one who has just died.

Yesterday, I sat in the family room with a family. They told me about their loved one. I am so blessed to learn the stories of love that come from spouses and childen. There is so much good that dwells in the hearts of people, and often we don't know it until they are gone. People are so private. So good. So anonymous. Doing their acts of charity in secret.

Every day that we are alive is a chance for us to care about others. Your kids may not get it now, but they will get it in the future. Keep loving them. Keep showing them. Keep pointing the way. One day soon, some preacher will sit in your family room and mine.

We have today. With God's blessing we have tomorrow. Let's make every minute count.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
