Tuesday's Grand Connection Thought
I just celebrated a birthday. A "big" birthday.
But lately, instead of thinking of all of the things that I want to do in my lifetime, I'm beginning to ask myself, "What does God want me to do in the years that I have left? What family stories do I need to write down ... so the grandchildren will know their heritage? And ... will I ever sort through all of those seemingly millions of family picture that are packed away in cardboard boxes?"

Can you identify?
But when my mom called this year, a brand new question came to my mind. "How many years will we have Mom?" I was aware that Mom's call was perhaps my best gift. To think, at my ripe old age, I can still hear my mother's voice. I am truly blessed!
How do you choose God's best for your life? What helps you truly cherish older relatives and friends and express your love to them?
