If Today Were Your Last Day

 
As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter, "Could you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."
　
　 They stared at him. He turned red, but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank. Curious, she asked, "Why salt with coffee?" He explained, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing on the sea ... I could feel its taste salty, like salty coffee. Now every time I drink it, I think of my childhood and my hometown. I miss it and my parents, who are still there."
　　She was deeply touched. A man who can admit that he's homesick must love his home and care about his family. He must be responsible.
　　She talked too, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was the start to their love story.
　　They continued to date. She found that he met all her requirements. He was tolerant, kind, warm and careful. And to think she would have missed the catch if not for the salty coffee!
　　So they married and lived happily together. And every time she made coffee for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it.
　　After 40 years, he passed away and left her a letter which said:
　　My dearest, please forgive my life-long lie. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous I asked for salt instead of sugar.
     
　　It was hard for me to ask for a change, so I just went ahead. I never thought that we would hit it off. Many times, I tried to tell you the truth, but I was afraid that it would ruin everything.

 
The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the dinner table. Since grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl chenille patch.
      
      
Sometimes when the family glanced in grandfather's direction, he had a tear in his eye as he ate alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old son watched it all in silence property in brazil.
One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The four-year-old son smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table nu skin
For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled. Children are remarkably perceptive. Their eyes always observe, their ears always listen, and their minds always process the messages they absorb. If they see us patiently provide a happy home atmosphere for family members, they will imitate that attitude for the rest of their lives. The wise parent realizes that every day is being laid for the child's future.

I read it about it on two different blogs a couple months ago
and have been thinking about it ever since.
One girl gave up mirrors for a month.
{with the exception of a 2in. by 2in. mirror for applying make-up each morning}
She said it was so freeing not worrying about what she looked like Dust proof phone case.
She said she was more focused on her day and thought more clearly.
I suppose it would help to take the focus off of ourselves.
I don't know if I could do it though. What if a piece of hair was sticking way up?
and I could never trust my husband's answer with his love blinders on if I were to ask "Do I look okay?"
...could any woman really Dust Proof Phone Case?

We should be teaching our daughters and young girls not to behave this way.
We should be teaching them to accept aging as something beautiful. an accomplishment. something to look forward to.
We need to teach them to respect those that are older than us. to respect others in general protective case.
We need to teach them that others have feelings. and we need to be sensitive to those feelings.

Since we moved into this house I wanted a bigger window in the dining room.
Last summer the glass cracked on our small window..I was excited because I thought the crack meant a new, bigger window.
I was wrong. It meant Jeff was going to fix the glass. He didn't want to spend money on a big window at that time blackberry phone covers.
I told him that I was going to pray for a big window. He laughed and said fine, pray for a window.
I barely had a chance to pray when my brother called and told me my uncle had the wrong window installed into his house Claire Hsu.
The company was coming to install a new one and wanted to know if anyone wanted the old one, they were just going to toss it away.
Of course!!!! No tossing! I'll take it. Thank you God. Thank you Uncle Jimmy.
God shows Himself in such amazing ways..even in something as silly and simple as a window.
and let me just say..we could NOT have afforded to buy this particular window!
So glad my aunt and uncle love quality reenex cps
So thankful they asked if anyone needed a window.
