Let Us Remember!

Let Us Remember……Let’s Remember What We Value!

Remembering my Mom…..This is her birthday. She loved and cared for everyone, but especially children. She wanted the world to be a safe and loving, kind and respectful place for all. Her home was always open for folks to come and stay, have a meal and share.

As I remember her today, I realize much of my life has been patterned after what she showed me. It was not her words, because she mostly listened and just did kind and helpful deeds. It was her consistent presence, living what she believed and valued. Mom was a strong capable partner and friend to my Dad and to her children.

I honored her as a child and as an adult and now as I am a mother and Grandmother. I remember and live the best I know appreciating what I saw and felt and heard. She was accepting and trusting, generous and happy, healing and helpful to all. She exemplified the golden rule and treated others with the very best she knew.

Now as I remember what I value, I am living out what I have learned and appreciated. Perhaps on this July 4th weekend, it is a good time for each one of us to value what we have. Let us each remember the value of living in this country where we all have opportunity. The freedom and trust from our parents, our government is exceptional and encouraging.

Do you remember the value of going to school? Do you remember what you learned from your elders? Do you take the time to return to a place of gratitude? Do you consider your good fortune and blessings?

When we are willing to remember our ideals, we are more likely to live them. When we understand achievement require diligence and work, we succeed. When we look deeper with respect at those who paved the way, we give thanks. When we realize the higher ground and our purpose here, we realign with what is Good and right.

It seems that besides the fireworks and celebration, we need to contribute our best. We each can share the positive stories and inspiring memories. We can each help one another as brother and sister, family members on planet earth. We can notice what is needed and step up to give to what gives to others.

A little change makes such a big difference. Stop swearing and hating, prejudging and threatening. Stop the unconsciousness of drunkenness and addictions. Stop hurting yourself or others with ignorance and hurtfulness.

We are better than that. We are a nation of go-getters and givers, dreamers and builders. We are people who believe in freedom and justice for all. We are here to remember “In God We Trust” and live trusting in the Good.

I believe in us. Together we can change our world.

Loving you, Betty Lue
