As you look at these moments, give yourself some time to close your eyes and take a deep breath to recall some of your fondest times with your dearest people. The snuggles you shared, the hands you held, those deep belly laughs that made you cry tears of joy. The peace you experienced. The challenge you encountered but did not realize would make you who you are today. Recall the smells and the sounds, the laughter, the birds in the trees, the wind whistling through the air. The smell of your loved ones favorite cologne or perfume as you held them dancing, or your favorite meal being cooked by your spouse, even the scent crayons and markers as your children create the greatest masterpieces the fridge ever did see. Let your senses transport you to your favorite moments. Now exhale. Each moment, as sacred as they are, are ones given to us freely and unmerited. We have done nothing to truly deserve these moments, but God gives them to us anyway. And for that we are grateful.
