To A Keeper

One day someone's husband died,
and on that clear, cold morning,
in the warmth of their bedroom,
the wife was struck with the pain of learning
that sometimes there isn't any more.

No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat,
no more "just one minute."

Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away never to return before we can say good-bye, say "I love you."

So while we have it . . .
it's best we love it . .
and care for it .
and fix it when it's broken . . .
and heal it when it's sick.

This is true for marriage . .
and old cars . . . and children with bad report cards
and dogs with bad hips and aging parents and grandparents.

We keep them because they are worth it,
because we are worth it.

Some things we keep --
like a best friend who moved away
or a classmate we grew up with
or co-workers from the early years
or childhood friends from church
or old neighbors or family members now grown distant.

There are just some things that make us happy,
no matter what. Life is important,
like people we know who are special . .
and so,

We keep them close!


Now it's your turn to send this to all those people
who are "keepers" in your life.

Thank you for being a special part of my life!


You're a Keeper
