Mile Markers!

Mile Markers "Teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom." (Psalm 40 vs. 12) Each day of our life is a present and special in some way. Each has a memory, some fade, but the great ones stay forever. We often catalog them, and many hide in our subconscious. Numbering our days is an excellent thought. The major ones do not take rocket science to remember. I am an elder and remember where I was for Pearl Harbor (27 months old), JFK's assassination, the twin tower assault, and Ted Williams' last at-bat (a home run at age 41). The unconscious ones are often more fun when brought to the forefront. Recently, an old friend from 1955 and I reconnected and reviewed our memories together, sharing high school football experiences, school days, former teachers, and cheerleaders. He brought back so many memories that he called me one evening while online. We talked for two hours. The Lord has been good to us. We are not wealthy but rich in memories, full of love, happiness, and wisdom. The numbering of our days has paid off in a worthy life. It will also work for you. Thought for Today: Today, we will create a memory. Whether it is a major or minor event remains to be seen. Either way, let us recognize its contribution to who we will be. Prayer for Today: Dear Lord and Father, we thank you for all the great memories and blessings you have given us. Today, we pray that we serve your will here on earth as we go through our day. Amen
