My Daily Reminder

DSC_0013 (Medium)

A gift from TG for my birthday years ago…

Each time I grab my keys, I see it and think of her and everything else I have to be grateful for…which is a lot, when I take the time to think about it.

And I do, thanks to TG.

I think of the potential of each day, the hope, the promise…

The responsibility.

It's a gift that keeps on giving…one of the least expensive, yet one of the most valuable.

Thank you, TG. (I love you.)

    As I just said in Joanie’s post, there can’t be a better gift in life, than life itself. I love the processing on your photo!!

    I love this post too – both the sentiment, and the picture.
    Initially I looked at the charm and thought, “If I’d created this charm, I’d have separated the ‘from God’ and given each word its own line ~ thus centering it similar to the charm’s shape AND emphasizing the presence of God.’
    And once the thought had played out in my head, I realized that doing that would actually minimize the message – for its the ‘from God’, the sense of partnership and collaboration that the sentiment represents – it is THAT that is the true gift.
    My copy of Mother Teresa’s “No Greater Love” came into the library today. I’ll be picking it up soon and look forward to sinking into it.
    Thank you …

    Gosh, Sally, I hadn't even thought if it that way. Thank you for pointing it out to me – I'll look at it differently from now on. I hope you enjoy Mother Theresa' book as much as I have!
