Precious Few

There are only a few moments in ones life that seem really important. When we look back things that seemed to matter so much seem only small with the passing of time. You know what I mean don’t you?
This afternoon I had shared a special moment with a mother and child I told you about earlier. I only wished you could have been with me when they brought this little 7 month old to her mom after her surgery. Mom must have thought that a miracle occurred when she saw her brand new, all in one piece, plump little upper lip! What joy she must be feeling to not have everyone stare at her like a little freak child.
Surely she must be thanking some god in some heaven somewhere for the gift they have both received. With time the little scars will fade and no one will remember what she looked like before.
Many helped make this happen. 57 team members with “Operation Smile” did most of the work. They have helped tens of thousands over the last 25 years. The local church bought formula so the baby could eat and gain enough weight for the surgery. I was only the taxi driver. Thank you God. Rick
