I discovered that what a person thinks about reveals a lot about who they really are.

In reflecting on both of these relatives, I am so glad that I was not so
pompous as to catch them in some wee bit of dishonesty. They meant 
well, I am sure. They felt part of the family because Auntie loved to 
show off her hat and Uncle Fred loved to show off his stories. 

We do not have big hats anymore for ladies, which Auntie would kinda
feel out of place. And with all the emailing and texting and technology 
today, nobody has time to listen to Uncle Fred's stories. 

Man I miss those days. Those days before social media took over and made
us all strangers. 

I still have my memories, and I am wondering how I can pass them on to
my children and grandchildren. If only they could have met those 
relatives of mine and heard those stories there would be a little bit 
of joy in their heart that nothing else can create. 

Occasionally I think of Auntie and Uncle Fred and for some reason a
smile dances across my face. I want to bring joy to my family and when 
they think of me long after I am gone, a smile will dance across their 
face. 

The apostle Paul had the right attitude when he said, “Finally,
brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, 
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever 
things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be 
any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” 
(Philippians 4:8).
