QUESTION OF THE DAY #17: What do you want to remember?

People say that life goes by too quickly.  I think a day goes by too quickly.  I know I've said something like that before, but it's true.  I got to see my son at his football game today, and I was reminded that two years ago on this exact day he played in his very first soccer game.  Not only was it his first game, but he played goalie!  He's changed so much in these past two years.  He's now just a freshman in high school, and already he's growing into the man he will one day be.  In fact, I get the feeling that any second now he'll be taller than me!  I remember looking at him silhouetted in the setting sun on the field as his team gathered in the end zone and being proud, proud not only of what he's done, or how he conducted himself, but proud of the person he is becoming.  How blessed I am to have three wonderful children and moments like these.  It was a day to remember.  

What do you want to remember?  A smile?  A compliment from your spouse?  A conversation with your friends?  An accomplishment?  The beauty of nature?  A feeling of peace and contentment?  Tuck it away, and hang on to it tightly!

Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.

Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise.
