It seems like so far this year, Jim and I have experienced more than our share of deaths. We also had to deal
with the one year anniversary of my step-son's death. Jim’s only son’s died in March of 2012. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and other times, it seems like a lifetime
ago.
I wish I had kept one of his voice messages on our recorder so we could listen to him, every now and then. Those days when we miss him the most, it'd be nice to hear his voice. Occasionally, Dan will appear in Jim's dreams. I am somewhat envious as he hears his son calling or talking to him. I guess that's Dan's way of letting Jim know his spirit is alive and well. Little moments in the middle of the night, priceless.
Death should renew our commitment
to experience the little things in life more fully. It is too easy to get caught up in the drama
of life and forget to literally smell the coffee, roses or whatever smell that
pleases your senses.
I heard this song, years ago, by Brad Paisley when it first
was released. I thought it was just another love song. Now when I hear it, I realize it is much more than a love song. It is a song about life. It is applicable to us
all.
The song that follows is about living in the moment, the present. Don't waste time thinking about yesterday or tomorrow; enjoy right now, where you are at, who you are, and who are with. You are living God's plan, you just may not know it! Rejoice in the day, it will be gone in the blink of an eye. Be grateful for who you are, God made you the way he wanted you to be. The little things you have been given are special and are sacred blessings, enjoy them, treasure them. You are blessed to be here. You will be blessed when you leave.

My video is simple to this beautiful song.
Simple images. Simply photos of little moments of life. Photo shots that I live for that everyone can relate to if you just switch out the faces in the video for loved ones you know.
Take the time to focus on your Little Moments and treasure them. They are indeed what make life beautiful!
