A new day, with a new set of memories to make, and most of the time we don’t even realize this. We go through life not realizing how special every single day is, how blessed we really are.

Why do we take the little things for granted? Letting the negative steal the joy out of our existence, we spend our time always searching, and always wanting more. I know we are striving to attain that which seems to elude us, or just trying to make our lives better in different ways, but we should never forget to stop and appreciate the things that we already have. The things that make us who we really are, things we think are too small to matter, the things our memories are made of.

They are the reason we can start a sentence with;

‘Remember when’, ‘I’ll never forget when’ and ‘Oh my gosh! I almost forgot…’

These are the things that create the essence of us, and in reality the essence of our lives.

So let’s learn to appreciate those things that make up our days, the things that create our memories, if someone or something makes you mad, don’t let it rule your day, pray over it and move on.

If someone or something makes you laugh and smile, store it in that special place in your heart and hold on to it.

If for some reason you find yourself in tears, ponder over it and let it go.

Remember, we do not come into this world to live forever, so lets appreciate the life that we have been given, lets not take it for granted.

Thank the Lord for every breath we take, every experience, for every moment and for every blessing big or small. Let’s thank Him for every memory we have the opportunity to create every day.
