  I’VE LEARNED …
  
  “I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today,
  life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.”
  
  “I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he, or she,
  handles these three things:
  … a rainy day
  … lost luggage
  … and tangled Christmas tree lights

  “I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents,
  you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life.”

  “I’ve learned that making a ‘living’ is not the same thing as ‘making a life’.”

  “I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.”

  “I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands;
  you need to be able to throw some things back.”

  “I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart,
  I usually make the right decision.”

  “I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.”
  
  “I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone.”
  
  “I’ve learned that people love a warm hug,
  or just a friendly pat on the back.”
  
  “I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn!”
  
  I’ve learned that people will forget what you said,
  people will forget what you did,
  but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
  
  Any life lessons learned that you could add?
  
  

  

  
  Well, I talked to Ian tonight, and he’s finally sending the pictures tomorrow!  Yay!!  Soon, now, we’ll get to see what their trip was like, and I’ll post them!  He also explained to me that they will be taking two mission trips between now, and November.  The first one, at the end of July, to Baja, California … both he and Tim will be going together, and my dear friend, Marcia, told me she’s been there many times … (her daughter is in Mongolia for 9 weeks on a mission trip now!)  Also some friends from Texas go on this same mission trip to Baja every year.  They believe they could be going in July as well.  The second trip to Guatemala will be in August, if all goes well.  They will be helping to build houses for pastors in these areas, along with film documentation of the time there.  Definitely exciting times, although times of stretching for Mom here!  I thank you for all of your prayers for them, now and during these trips.  They still need to get passports, shots, and whatever else they will need to go so, if anyone has any helpful hints or tips about a mission trip, they would be so very appreciated!  This is new to all of us,  Hope you all had a marvelous Monday!  Have a tremendous Tuesday, and be blessed!
