Keeping Things in Perspective

[Host Anne]

While we often get caught up in discussions of what to wear, how is the food, customer service, etc., this is a good reminder that we often forget to put things in perspective. This is from a member on the Norwegian boards. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Thanks, Anne. That story of loss certainly helps us to keep order in our lives. My heart goes out to the family of that young man. May he rest in peace.

[Host Anne]

You're most welcome, Sheila.

Thanks Anne, some of us tend to fret over the smallest of things. This boy has offered up his life to keep us safe and free. That is what is important. My deepest sympathy to his family.

Our thoughts and best wishes to his family, we were reminded this week by the great pictures from the Century of who we really have to be thankful for. Anne, thank you for this reminder on Veterans Day.

Hello Anne.

Our prayers are with the family.

wanted to thank you for the tip about the catamaran tour in cabo. Enough of us signed up from our "little" roll call to be sure of the excursion. Did you snorkle that day?

Freedom never comes free, it exacts the ultimate price.

My God bless and watch over all those serving.

I'd like to extend my condolences to his family. Thanks Anne from bringing us down to earth about the really important things in all of our lives!

Don ~ thanks for the Veterans Day reminder as well. My dad was always very proud of his service in WWII. I'm very grateful to all who have served in the military and want them to know they are appreciated and remembered on Veterans Day.

 

Nadine ~ I'll reply on your roll call.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I too am very grateful to all who have made the ultimate sacrifice in order to protect our country and it's freedoms.

Thank you Anne - such a moving story - our prayers and sympathy go out to this family also all other families who have lost children, brothers, sisters and parents during this conflict. Life is far too short to let the petty things influence our thinking.......
