This
I believe that the American Dream is not one of material success but to leave a
legacy, some proof that we have been here, something so simple that we often
overlook. The neat thing about this is a child’s touch, a mother kissing her
babies check when they are 30. A father’s kiss on the forehead, when he covers
his little one who is 20 and home for the weekend just to do dirty laundry. It
is a dog or a cat running to see their human parent when they arrive from work.
Sometimes jumping up and down, barking wildly or meowing to let their presence
be known. These are the loved wonderful things that are truly ours, our
memories. “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The
Lord gave and the Lord has taken away, may the name of the Lord be praised.” (Job
1:21) Our simple legacy is that we are the memory in someone’s heart and soul
that will never be forgotten. Let us make sure that it’s a good memory that we
leave in the minds of others—a pleasant memory that will wipe out all the “negative”
parts of us that exist. Our prayers are simple today. Let us pray for everyone
that needs a prayer—let us pray for each other.
Let us pray for eternal happiness and a settled spirit, for healing, for
love, for strength, for perseverance. From
this day forward, tell someone everyday for the remainder of your life that you
love them. God bless you all and keep us safe cradled in God’s arm.
Mrs. Larry (Patsy) Keating went home on 4th March 2013. She will be missed but never forgotten for the love she shared on this earth.
