I get the privilege of taking communion each week at church. It's a way to remember the sacrifice Jesus gave for me on the cross and time of fresh commitment and renewal. I never want to forget, or take for granted, the cost of salvation, the power of resurrection, and the hope there is living for Jesus.
This has made me think a bit what what else I don't want to forget:
- My first kiss with Melissa
- Holding my boys after their birth
- Seeing the look on my daughter's face on our "gotcha" day
- What it feels like to get a second chance
- Growing up in a home full of love
- What it's like to be the outsider
- Uncertainty of the next step ... and taking it anyway
- The moments the Holy Spirit touched my life from childhood to today
- The last time I caused my wife or kids cry
- Exhilaration of crossing the finish line after 26.2 miles
- The comfort and joy of being with family
- Unexplainable humility of sharing in life transformation
What about you? What is it you never want to forget?

great blog. I never want to forget the day I truly knew the love of God and accepted the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ. I never want to forget the morning (4:20 a.m.) my wife woke me with the words "my water broke" and the day I witnessed my girls come into the world. There is so much to remember, thanks for reminding me!
Wow....
I never want to forget:
**The moment I opened my email to see my daughters referral picture for the very first time - in that moment my dream came true - I was a mommy
**The last conversation I had with my mom before she died
**The feeling I had when they placed Mikayla in my arms on our Forever Family Day and the feeling that I was in the middle of a miracle that God Himself created
**The first year of marriage that tested my love for Mike and made me realize love is priceless
**Hearing the words "Mommy I'm so glad God made you my mama"
**The values my parents taught me
