A Small Gift.

Today's Marketing Cookie is about joy.

It would be easy for me to talk today about how our daughter, the first grandchild in my wife's family, brought everyone together. It would be easy for me to describe how my father-in-law found renewed inspiration to begin painting again. I could tell you about how her brother, sister, aunts, uncles, and cousins were reunited, and how they all came together to celebrate her life and enjoy time together as a family again. It is wonderful to recall how much joy she brought into our world. It was an amazing time! Even though our daughter is now eighteen years old, I still remember the joy she created as if it were yesterday.

What about you?

Do you recall a small gift that brought joy to your whole family? Was it a new baby? How about the first day in a new house? Think about it. What is a moment you can remember when something small brought great joy to the whole family? I'm asking you to do this because remembering those times can bring a piece of that joy back into your heart. Take yourself back there for a moment this morning, and let some of those forgotten memories be remembered. I hope you've recaptured something precious this morning and will have the privilege of creating many new moments in the days, weeks, and years to come!
