The Simple Things in Life

I was thinking what sort of a unique and fun project would be for this Saturday, and I realized that the greatest things we see and hear are those everyday, simple things. Let me explain.

One of the greatest scenes in my life happens every day. I get to see my family. Everything each member of my family does on a daily basis is a cherished memory. I cannot capture it all on film, and even if I did, I would miss the beauty of the details.

When a child takes their first step, throws their first ball, says the first word, or when a sibling calls to tell you about a new job, or when your spouse has a wonderful experience serving a friend in need, these are all moments that create our personal history. The daily activities that we are engaged in make up our living journal!

Please remember to take time as often as you can to record those life experiences in your journal, on home video, tape recorder, or with a still camera. The significance of those memories will prove priceless in years to come. The simple things in life are the best. Quit looking for the rest…
