“Lest We Forget!”

Today,  12 years ago, “do you remember where you were and what you were doing”, and most  important   –  “what was happening around you”  – “n your personal world?”

Today  –  have you  taken  notice  that more and more people see only them-selves in their own  personal world?   It is a  “me-me”  and only  “me-first” world!   People do not see their neighbors, and friends and family –  no one  but themselves    –  they are operating  as mechanical robots!  Seems the manual of instructions was never opened and no one took the time to let  them  in on that knowing  a kind word  or gesture will  work  miracles!

Today,  there is one book ,  that I believe every person should carry with them wherever they go.  The Holy Bible is the  “manual”  of  information  with the  Truth   – Wisdom  – Knowledge to help us in every walk of life. Every day that I read  from the bible  – I find new help for every thing  and each day’s lesson  to learn. Daily,  I am inspired with extremely good and the “BEST” of  information! Each day starts so much better – when I first read from the bible. I find that just leaving the “BIBLE” open on the kitchen table – each day I just continue – where I left off – I am always reading from the best of letters I could ever receive – and that’s the Word of Almighty God!

Today,  keep the memory alive of where you were during any of the    World Wars  –  and  also, when  – President Kennedy was shot in Dallas   –     and   this latest tragedy to hit America – right on American soil!  09-11-2001?

Today  – can you be compassionate  – can you use heart-warming words  with your family, friends, neighbors  and enemies?  We  – all of us – are on this earth for such a very short time –  and our “Heavenly Home” will not be as well furnished  –  if we can not show “Love” in our every action and deed  and word – here  – living in this  earthly and  temporary home  – that we  will leave behind  someday – when we are called to travel upward and on up to the “Seventh Heaven!”

“Preserve the family  –  Preserve the family memories  –  forever!”
