I DIDN'T APPRECIATE by Walker Moore Posted by PEGASUS Jun 16 2006 6:54PM As I get older, I realize there are things in my life I didn't appreciate until it was too late. I didn't appreciate the naps they used to make me take in kindergarten. I long for the day when someone says, "You can't work anymore until you take a nap." I guarantee you, I won't argue. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I didn't appreciate one-cent candy or milk that was delivered to your front door. In the "do-it-yourself" world we'll never see either of those again. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I didn't appreciate those face-squishing hugs my mother used to give me. Now that she's gone home to be with the Lord, I long for just one more. This time I would squish her right back. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I didn't appreciate the days I danced barefoot in the rain with my mouth open wide trying to get a drink of raindrops. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I didn't appreciate the sacrifice my parents made for my brothers and me to keep us clothed, fed and happy. --------------------------------------------------------- I didn't appreciate mom letting us mess up the living room on a rainy day. I thought building a tent with a secret tunnel is what everyone did on those days. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I didn't appreciate the marvels of planting a seed and watching it sprout into a full-grown plant.------------------------ I didn't appreciate the struggles we had to go through as a family. Because of yesterday's struggles, we have strength for today. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I didn't appreciate the times my sons came to me and asked those annoying, unanswerable questions. "What makes a duck quack?" "Why is the sky blue?" I had no idea they thought I was smart enough to answer all their questions. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I didn't appreciate the times our family had together. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I didn't appreciate those clear nights when the stars danced with glee showing off their awesome Creator. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I didn't appreciate our son's "refrigerator artwork" that made our house a home. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I didn't know to appreciate the muddy footprints my wife and I so often found making a path across our carpet as a representation of life. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I didn't appreciate the times my children fell asleep in daddy's arms. I didn't realize it was there they felt protected from all the elements of the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------ And, even today, I can't fully appreciate what a great salvation I have. ------------------------------------------------------------------ God, I have just one prayer for today. Open my eyes that I may be able to see and appreciate the things that you do each day. appreciate Posted by texasroseIII (VIP) Jun 16 2006 9:09PM pegasi, you find the most wonderfull things to post.
