Someday, Dave, I can envision you collecting them all and making books for Ruby and Sadie and they will know how much they were treasured. To have my childhood documented through the eyes of a loving, kind adult? I can't imagine how precious that would be. <br /><br />Thank you for such a lovely start to my day. <br /><br />SueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-3126566539727582392012-07-08T23:41:34.464-04:002012-07-08T23:41:34.464-04:00"Learn the difference between gems and rocks&..."Learn the difference between gems and rocks", huh?

I have my own collection ...I do so love that Ruby!<br /><br />I have my own collection of gems - from all over the world now. I've picked up lots of my own (I can't help it!) and my friends know that the best souvenir they can bring me from a trip afar is a stone picked up on their travels. <br /><br />My treasures fill a big glass jar on my kitchen counter where I can see them every day. Sometimes one will go home with a grandchild or another young friend - because it seems mainly children who see the value in these beautiful bits of creation... I have a friend who so "gets" this, and brings me rocks from all over the world. <br /><br />My favourite treasure came back with Belinda from her trip to the Holy Land last year. It is a smooth one from the edge of the Sea of Galilee. It's shape is such and it is naturally notched so that my hand folds perfectly around it. I know that if this rock didn't touch Jesus feet directly, then it touched a rock, that touched a rock, that touched a rock, that touched Jesus feet directly - and that's pretty cool to me.<br /><br />Ruby, you are so right. You can choose to assign a difference between rocks and gems if you really want to, but that would be such a loss - to you and to all those around you whose lives you touch!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12527926041729913404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-73564566985847390582012-07-08T07:46:16.148-04:002012-07-08T07:46:16.148-04:00Dear Dave:

I learned that a...Ruby is right in her own way. <br />- <br />I learned that at own point in your life all the glimmer of the gems in the world are nothing in exchange for a bigsolid rock you are allowed to lean onto.<br /><br />JuliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
