Sandy -- Jennifer Sandy 9/18/77 - 8/29/98 Time has not erased our loss, your life and memories. The time has only increased the reality and the knowledge that you were and are a precious gift from God. At times the world seems so upside down and so much has changed since we saw you last. Yet, you are there in every season, especially those cloudy mornings that you loved so much. We feel God's grace through other walking in our lives and it transforms us with an understanding that there are no coincidences, only His perfect plan. The following verses from a song remind us that through it all we must remember: Everyday is a gift you've been given, Make the most of the time every minute you're living! So teach us to count the days Teach us to make the days count Lead us in better ways . . . Somehow our souls forgot Life means so much . . . Life means so much . . . Everyday is a bank account Time is our currency So no one is rich or nobody's poor We get 24 hours each. So how are you going to spend? Will you invest or squander? Try to get ahead or help someone who's under? Teach us to Make the Days Count Lead us in Better Ways! Forever, Your Loving Family
