SABRINA

Today would have been my Mother and Daddy's 60th Anniversary. I

recently heard a statement that rings so very true. "Children don't THINK

much about their parents-they EXPERIENCE them." I think that often as

parents we tend to be so busy THINKING about our children, that we do

not EXPERIENCE them. I know that as a child I could be happy with mother

and daddy or angry for what I deemed a ridiculous rule, but for the most

part my reaction was emotional. But what I did EXPERIENCE was love and

giving of their time. I did not analyze it, it was just there.

I imagine, whether good or bad, you can say the same. Young minds are not

analytical - that comes with maturity, perhaps a loss of innocence. I

encourage you today to THINK less about those close to you and

EXPERIENCE them more. There may be something you are missing! And

today may I remind you to tell those closest to you that you care for and love

them, for the time will come that you will no longer be able to experience

that blessing!  Have a blessed day!
