Thankful Day



Today - I'm very thankful. I had a business breakfast meeting this morning at Hamiliton's Funeral home. I know not the first place you think about having a breakfast meeting at 7:30am. However, I was pleasantly impressed with the facility. I couldn't help notice the garden outside with all of the metal artwork of children chasing butterflys. Well, they have an annual tribute to the small little ones that have gone to heaven and it is a very touching tribute where they give the metal artwork to the families after a memorial service.

Consequently, this got me thinking this morning early in the rain as to why I'm so very thankful. So often as adults and busy people with lots of tasks on our plates to complete each day, we forget about the little things. We forget that if we are no longer children and still living life . . .that in itself is a blessing. Today is a day to be thankful and for those of you who have lost young little ones - my prayers go out to you and your families.
