Well, holding those rocks of remembrance in my hands would bring me to tears as well. When do we lose the worth of a pebble? When does that happen?
Oh, to hold the wonder of a child's eyes again. To see life as unique and wonderfully crafted by God. We could learn a lot from a child if we just took time to listen and look!
I loved the previous post! I was a bit saddened that I couldn't leave a comment. I'm super glad that you've tweaked some things and that the comments are showing up now!
When my daughter was one (which was really just a few months ago...hahaha), I would have to check her pockets, too. One day, I thought the rocks had been removed from a particular pair of pants, so I through them in the washer. Later, when transferring the clothes to the dryer, I found probably 20 or so rocks (pebbles) in the bottom of washing machine. At first, I was like "ARGH!" But after a moment or two, I quickly realized how sweet the moment actually was.
