Remember....

She remembered.  It had been over a week since she had been to school but she remembered.  As she approached my desk I looked up with a smile.  Because I remember too.  What I remember is not what she expected.  My memory takes me to a place of knowledge that all children are precious and need to be cherished.  A place where God's grace and mercies are new every morning.  A place where each day is a fresh start.

I remembered to tell her that I was happy to see her and so glad she was back.  I remembered to tell her that if she gets the feeling she needs to run she could come see me and I would do what I could to help.  She looked me square in the eyes.  Searching for truth. Truth that the person talking was genuine and trustworthy.  Her answer was confirmed with her words.  "I like your necklace" was all she had to say.

On a day full of remembrance, it's a good reminder.  Love often, laugh with the ones you love and keep a song in your heart.
