Day #120: Give a Memory

Today, we visited Colonial Jamestown - a significant part of American History we are thankful we were able to see.

At the entrance of the Living Museum of Jamestown, there is a fountain that looks like one of the ships from the Settlers. As we were leaving, an older couple was standing in front of it taking pictures of one another. They were just arriving and excited to be there - anticipating the history lesson they were about to encounter.

I asked if they would like me to take their picture together. "Oh, would you!" the women said. "That woud be great," remarked the man. They handed me their camera and I took a couple of different poses of them with the fountain in the background.

Do you appreciate it when someone asks if they can take a picture for you of your whole family?

Our family spent 2011 traveling the USA in an RV, striving to intentionally "give every day" for the glory of God. We interviewed CEOs of nonprofits and served alongside over 40 organizations and churches.

We hereby pledge:

- To spend intimate, quantity time with our family.
- To actively help the poor, the sick, the lonely, and the helpless.

- To de-emphasize the importance of “stuff” in our lives.
- To bring publicity to good causes and good people.
