"Thank you for being so FANTA-stic" tag that you can attach to a bottle of Fanta soda and slip in a bag with some candy and card for a quick drop off gift ;)<br />

and another tag with the saying " We are in GOOD HANDS with you!" Attach it to a bottle of nice soap, hand sanitzer (if you can find any- lol) or some really good smelling lotion!<br />

</div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>In
that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found myself in
the room. There were no features except for the one wall
covered by small index card files. These files stretched from
floor to ceiling and went endlessly in both directions. As I
drew near the wall of files, the first to catch my attention was one
that read, "Boys I Have Liked." I opened it and began flipping
through the cards. I quickly shut it, shocked to realize that I
recognized the names on each one. I then realized where I was.
This lifeless room with its small files was a crude catalog
system of my life. Here were written the actions of my every moment, big
and small, in every detail. A sense of wonder and curiosity
mixed with horror stirred within me as I began opening files
and looking at their contents. Some brought joy and sweet
memories, others a sense of shame and regret so intense that I
looked over my shoulder to see if anyone was watching. A file named,
"Friends" was next to the one marked, "Friends I Have
Betrayed". The titles ranged from he mundane to the weird, "Books I Have
Read", "Lies I Have Told", "Comfort I Have Given", "Jokes I
Have Laughed At", "People I Have Hurt". Some were almost funny
in their exactness. "Things I Have Done in Anger", :Things I
Have Muttered Under MY Breath at My Parents". </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>Often
there were many more cards than I expected. Sometimes, fewer
than I had hoped. I was overwhelmed by the volume of life I had
lived. Could it be possible that I had the time in my young
life to write each of these thousands or millions of cards? But
each card confirmed this truth, each was written in my own
handwriting. Each signed with my signature. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Arial,Helvetica;"> </span><br />
</span><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>When
I pulled out the file marked, "Songs I Have Listened To", I
realized the files grew to contain the contents. The cards
were packed tightly, yet after two or three yards I hadn’t found the
end of the file. I shut it, shamed, not so much of the quality
of the music, but more by the amount of time I knew it
represented. When I came to the file marked, "Lustful
Thoughts", I felt a chill run through my body. I pulled the file
out inch by inch, not willing to test its size, and drew out a card. I
shuddered at the details. I felt sick to think that such a
moment had been recorded. A rage broke through me. "No one
must see these cards. No one must ever see this room. I have
to destroy them." In a frenzy, I yanked the file out. Its size
didn’t matter now. I had to empty it and burn the cards. I took it out
and pounded it on the floor. Not a single card would come out.
I desperately pulled out a card and tried to rip it, but it
was as strong as steel. Leaning my forehead against the wall, I
let out a sigh, then I saw it. The title, "People I Have Shared
the Gospel With". The handles were brighter than those around it,
newer, almost unused. I pulled on its handle and a small box
fell into my hands. I could count the cards it contained on one
hand. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Arial,Helvetica;"> </span><br />
</span><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>And
then the tears came. I began to cry. Sobbing so deep it hurt
my stomach. I fell on my knees and cried out in shame. The rows of
shelves whirled around me. No one must ever know of this room. I
must lock it up and hide the key. But as I pushed away the
tears, I saw Him. No, please, not here. Oh, anyone but Jesus! I
watched helplessly as He began to open the files and read the
cards. I couldn't bear to watch His response. In the moments that I
could bring myself to look at His face, I saw sorrow deeper
than my own. He seemed to go to the worst boxes. Why did He
have to read every one? Finally He turned and looked at me with
pity in His eyes. But this wasn't a pity that angered me. I dropped my
head and began to cry again. But He didn’t say a word. He just
cried with me. Then He got up and walked back to the wall of
files. Starting at one end of the room, he took out a card and
one by one He began to sign His name over mine. "NO!: I
shouted, rushing at Him. All I could find to say was, "NO, NO",
as I pulled the card from Him. His name shouldn’t be on those cards.
But there it was, written in red so rich, so dark, so alive. The
name JESUS covered mine. It was written with His blood.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Arial,Helvetica;"> </span><br />
</span><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>He
gently took the cards back. He smiled a sad smile and began to
sign all the cards. I do not think I will ever understand how he did it
so quickly. But, the next instance it seemed, I heard Him
close the last file and walk back to my side. He placed His
hand on my shoulder and said, "It is finished", I stood up and
He led me out of the room. There was no lock on the door. There
are still cards to be written. --</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><i> <span>I
had always felt like a misfit in school. My friends, although
good and true friends, were not in the crowd of popular kids in
school. Besides, I was sure I was funny looking. I just didn't
fit the mold. Parading constantly before my eyes was "the fun group"
- the popular kids always laughing and whispering, never sad or
depressed, skipping their way through school, the best of
friends. Teachers loved them, boys loved them, the whole school
loved them. I worshipped them and wanted to be just like them. I dreamed
of the day that they would accept me. My dream came true when I
turned fourteen and I tried out for the cheerleading squad. To
my surprise, I was chosen. Almost instantly, I was thrust into
the "in crowd". I felt like a butterfly coming out of a
cocoon. I changed my hair and the way I dressed. Everyone thought the
change in me was fantastic - new clothes, a new group of friends
and a new outlook on life. Almost overnight, the whole school
knew who I was, or at least they knew my name. There were
parties and sleepovers, and of course, cheering at the games. I was
finally one of the popular kids. Everyone I had hoped to know, I
knew. Everything I had wanted to be, I was. Something strange
was happening to me, however. The more I was included with the "in
crowd" the more confused I became. In reality, these people were far
from perfect. They talked behind each others backs while they
pretended to be best friends. They rarely had a truly good time
but smiled and faked it. They cared about what I was wearing and who
I was seen with. But they didn't care about who I was, what I
believed in, what my dreams were or what made me who I was. It
was a shock to see them as they really were, instead of as I had
"thought" they were. I began to feel a huge sense of loss and
disappointment. But worst of all, I realized that I was becoming just
like them, and I didn't like what was happening at all. I had to
get my life back in order. I concentrated first on finding out
who my real friends were, the ones who listened and who really
cared about me. They were the only ones who really mattered. I stayed
with cheerleading because I really enjoyed it. But I stopped
hanging around with only the popular kids, and I widened my
circle of friends. I found out that my real friends had never
left me. They were simply waiting for me to come to my senses. I finally
realized that my original friends were all I would ever need.</span></i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><u>The Day of Conflict</u></span></div>
<br />
We are all brothers and sisters - do we treat each other as such? <br />
<br />
<br />
Today we have the lyrics from a beautiful song by Janice Kapp Perry- one of my favorite songwriters!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>His Image in Your Countenance</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Janice Kapp Perry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With no apparent beauty that man should Him desire, <br />
He was the promised Savior to purify with fire. <br />
The world despised His plainness But those who followed Him <br />
Found love and light and purity; A beauty from within. <br />
<br />
(chorus) <br />
Have you received His image in your countenance? <br />
Does the Light of Christ Shine in your eyes? <br />
Will he know you when He comes again because you shall be like Him, <br />
When he sees you will the Father know His child? <br />
<br />
We seek for light and learning as followers of Christ <br />
That all may see His goodness reflected in our lives. <br />
When we receive His fullness and lose desire for sin <br />
We radiate His perfect love, A beauty from within. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
(chorus) <br />
Have you received His image in your countenance? <br />
Does the Light of Christ Shine in your eyes? <br />
Will he know you when He comes again because you shall be like Him, <br />
When he sees you will the Father know His child? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The ways of man may tempt us and some will be deceived, <br />
Prefering worldly beauty, Forgetting truth received, <br />
But whisprings of the Spirit remind us once again <br />
That lasting beauty, pure and clear must come from deep within.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
(chorus) <br />
Have you received His image in your countenance? <br />
Does the Light of Christ Shine in your eyes? <br />
Will he know you when He comes again because you shall be like Him, <br />
When he sees you will the Father know His child? </div>

<u><span style="font-size: medium;">The Day of Authority</span></u><br />
<br />
This is the day Christ cleansed the temple- what things do we want to 'cleanse' from our lives?<br />
<br />
Today's story is one we all can work on- no matter what the age.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
This would be a great FHE lesson as you could act out the story! <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A
peasant with a troubled conscience went to a monk for advice. He said
he had circulated a vile story about a friend, only to find that the
story was not true.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"If
you would make peace with your conscience," said the monk, " you must
first fill a bag with goose down and go to every door in the village,
dropping a feather at each doorstep," </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />

The peasant did as he was told, then came back to the monk to tell him he'd done the penance for his folly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Not
yet," replied the monk. "Now you must take a bag and return to each
doorstep to gather every feather you previously dropped."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"But the wind will have blown them all away by now" said the peasant.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b><u> The Day of Popularity</u></b></span><br />
<br />
This is the day the city cheered and welcomed the Savior as He rode into
town on the donkey. He recieved a King's welcome because He is the King
of Kings.<br />
<br />
Here is a story and object lesson to help us reflect how we treat others- great for a family Sunday Activity!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ywconnection.com/Holiday/pageHeasterwalkwithChristpresentation.html"><br />
</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Fill-it Up</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWz37nxukQa6s_oWyrEEvampplK_QPKp08My4XzMKJ6uWVHDGkoKriFZDbI8xldqRCXEQtBPaFA5du34t_YDe1m0LPg8kq9GRZs3D1Vw8OmqzLKm22Gr6M7oGrPzS8O8WgRThN1ZBbat43/s1600/Deflated-Balloons-543959.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWz37nxukQa6s_oWyrEEvampplK_QPKp08My4XzMKJ6uWVHDGkoKriFZDbI8xldqRCXEQtBPaFA5du34t_YDe1m0LPg8kq9GRZs3D1Vw8OmqzLKm22Gr6M7oGrPzS8O8WgRThN1ZBbat43/s320/Deflated-Balloons-543959.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prep- find a balloon, blow it up
but DON"T tie it off. Write 'individual worth' or 'self-esteem' on it.
Whichever you think your children will understand better. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Object Lesson- When we say nice things about others it fills up their balloon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have children think of nice things to say- </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"You look nice today", etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As they each say nice things add air to the balloon until it is full- again don't tie it off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgCqomWCN8lOtmJ56tbL5Q-9TI_0Cr2TQuvhtcKYmF0QeBHvgfObbmyw7HR_G6mpHiBzRuhVd6UsIXlwgL1pJBp9bonRsesPUP-3Et0TMF4nf38ciRjFENfyGjMO2edsi7vBKVsGZIz1sP/s1600/balloons.gif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgCqomWCN8lOtmJ56tbL5Q-9TI_0Cr2TQuvhtcKYmF0QeBHvgfObbmyw7HR_G6mpHiBzRuhVd6UsIXlwgL1pJBp9bonRsesPUP-3Et0TMF4nf38ciRjFENfyGjMO2edsi7vBKVsGZIz1sP/s1600/balloons.gif" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, ask you children to think of mean things that they say- start to let the air out of the balloon until it is all gone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Talk about how when we say nice things we fill up each others balloons but mean and spiteful words empty them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bear them your testimony of how
we each can fill up each others balloons and challenge them to be
'fillers' this week and not 'de-flaters'. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check back each day this week for
more stories and things you can do to teach those wonderful messages
Christ taught us to live by when He was here on the earth. </div>

fan....nerd would probably be a more accurate term. Sadly, maybe even
obsessed!<br />
<br />
I mean how many people do you know that can
talk about a topic for 5 hours while driving home late at night trying
to solve all the inaccuracies between text and film and the holes created....<br />
<br />
um yeah...<br />
<br />
<br />
not that I would know anything about that.....<br />
<br />

For
the past two years our family has done a 30 day Grateful list! It has
been a wonderful family activity and I am excited to see how the answers
change year after year. It can be hard coming up with 30 new things
every.single.day. without sounding a bit repetitive or similar! To help,
I have created a FREE 30 Day Grateful Questions to help out! The tags
are cute and the questions make each day more thoughtful and meaningful.<br />
<br />

<br />
Simply <a href="http://www.4shared.com/office/f47HcXxM/Dew_THISThanksgivingTags.html">download your copy here</a>
and start asking questions! If you don't have all 30 Days to devote,
use the tags as a Thanksgiving Dinner Game or scavenger hunt for the
kiddos! The options are endless!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>It
was obvious that eight-year-old Stephen's mental retardation was
becoming even more severe. His Sunday school teacher did her best to
include Stephen in the classroom activities and to avoid situations
which might prompt his classmates to make fun of him.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>In
April, she gave each of the eight children in the class an empty
plastic Easter egg and instructed them to place inside the container an
object that represented new life in spring. Fearing that Stephen might
not have caught on, and not wanting to embarrass him, the teacher had
the children place all the containers on the desk so that she could
open them.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>The first had a tiny flower in it. <i>"What a lovely sign of new life,"</i> said the teacher. One of the students couldn't help but erupt, <i>"I brought that one!"</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>Next
came a rock. The teacher assumed this must be Stephen's since rocks
don't symbolize new life. But Billy shouted that his rock had moss on
it, and moss represented new life. <i>"Very good, Billy,"</i> agreed the teacher.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>A butterfly flew from the third container and another child bragged that her choice was the best of all.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>The fourth container was empty. This must be Stephen's, thought the teacher, quickly reaching for a different one.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><i>"Teacher, please don't skip mine,"</i> interrupted Stephen.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><i>"But it's empty, Stephen."</i> said the teacher gently.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><i>"That's right,"</i> said Stephen, <i>"The tomb was empty, and that represents new life for everyone."</i></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span>Later
that summer, Stephen's condition worsened and he died. At his funeral
on his casket, mourners found eight plastic Easter eggs, all of them
empty.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span><br />
</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Lisa
sat on the floor of her old room, staring at the box that lay in front
of her. It was an old shoe box that she had decorated to become a
memory box many years before. Stickers and penciled flowers
covered the top and sides. <br />
<br />
Its edges were worn, the corners of the lid taped so as to keep their shape. <br />
<br />
It had been three years since Lisa last opened the box. A sudden move to
Boston had kept her from packing it. But now that she was back
home, she <br />
took the time to look again at the memories. <br />
<br />
Fingering the corners of the box and stroking its cover, Lisa pictured in her mind what was inside. <br />
<br />
There was a photo of the family trip to the Grand Canyon, a note from
her friend telling her that Nick Bicotti liked her, and the
Indian arrowhead she <br />
had found while on her senior class trip. One by one, she remembered the
items in the box, lingering over the sweetest, until she came
to the last and only painful memory. She knew what it looked
like--a single sheet of paper upon which lines had been drawn to form
boxes, 490 of them to be exact. <br />
And each box contained a check mark, one for each time. <br />
<br />
The story behind it.......... <br />
<br />
"How many times must I forgive my brother?" the disciple Peter had asked
Jesus. "Seven times?" Lisa's Sunday school teacher had read
Jesus' surprise answer to the class. "Seventy times seven." <br />
<br />
Lisa had leaned over to her brother Brent as the teacher continued
reading. "How many times is that?" she whispered. Brent, though
two years younger, was smarter than she was. <br />
<br />
"Four hundred and ninety," Brent wrote on the corner of his Sunday
school paper. Lisa saw the message, nodded, and sat back in her
chair. She watched her brother as the lesson continued. He was
small for his age, with narrow shoulders and short arms. His
glasses were too large for his face, and his hair always matted in
swirls. He bordered on being a nerd, but his incredible skills
at everything, especially music, made him popular with his
classmates. <br />
<br />
Brent had learned to play the piano at age four, the clarinet at age
seven, and had just begun to play oboe. His music teachers said
he'd be a famous <br />
musician someday. There was only one thing at which Lisa was better than
Brent--basketball. They played it almost every afternoon after
school. <br />
<br />
Brent could have refused to play, but he knew that it was Lisa's only
joy in the midst of her struggles to get C's and D's at school. <br />
<br />
Lisa's attention came back to her Sunday school teacher as the woman
finished the lesson and closed with prayer. That same Sunday
afternoon found brother and sister playing basketball in the
driveway. It was then that the counting had begun. Brent was guarding
Lisa as she dribbled toward the basket. He had tried to bat the
ball away, got his face near her elbow, and took a shot on the
chin. "Ow!", he cried out and turned away. <br />
<br />
Lisa saw her opening and drove to the basket, making an easy lay-up. She
gloated over her success but stopped when she saw Brent. "You
okay?",she <br />
asked. Brent shrugged his shoulders. <br />
<br />
"Sorry," Lisa said. "Really. It was a cheap shot." <br />
<br />
"It's all right. I forgive you," he said. A thin smile then formed on his face. "Just 489 more times though." <br />
<br />
"Whaddaya mean?" Lisa asked. <br />
<br />
"You know...what we learned in Sunday school today. You're supposed to
forgive someone 490 times. I just forgave you, so now you have
489 left," <br />
he kidded. The two of them laughed at the thought of keeping track of
every time Lisa had done something to Brent. They were sure she
had gone past 490 long ago. <br />
<br />
The rain interrupted their game, and the two moved indoors. "Wanna play
Battleship?" Lisa asked. Brent agreed, and they were soon on the
floor of the living room with their game boards in front of
them. Each took turns calling out a letter and number
combination, hoping to hit each other's ships. <br />
<br />
Lisa knew she was in trouble as the game went on. Brent had only lost
one ship out of five. Lisa had lost three. Desperate to win, she
found herself leaning over the edge of Brent's barrier ever so
slightly. She was thus able to see where Brent had placed two of
his ships. She quickly evened the score. <br />
<br />
Pleased, Lisa searched once more for the location of the last two ships.
She peered over the barrier again, but this time Brent caught
her in the act. "Hey, you're cheating!" He stared at her in
disbelief. <br />
<br />
Lisa's face turned red. Her lips quivered. "I'm sorry," she said,
staring at the carpet. There was not much Brent could say. He
knew Lisa sometimes did things like this. He felt sorry that
Lisa found so few things she could do well. It was wrong for her to
cheat, but he knew the temptation was hard <br />
for her. "Okay, I forgive you," Brent said. Then he added with a small laugh, "I guess it's down to 488 now, huh?" <br />
<br />
"Yeah, I guess so." She returned his kindness with a weak smile and added, "Thanks for being my brother, Brent." <br />
<br />
Brent's forgiving spirit gripped Lisa, and she wanted him to know how
sorry she was. It was that evening that she had made the chart
with the 490 boxes. She showed it to him before he went to bed. <br />
<br />
"We can keep track of every time I mess up and you forgive me," she said. <br />
<br />
"See, I'll put a check in each box--like this." She placed two marks in the upper left-hand boxes. <br />
<br />
"These are for today." Brent raised his hands to protest. "You don't need to keep--" <br />
<br />
"Yes I do!" Lisa interrupted. "You're always forgiving me, and I want to
keep track. Just let me do this!" She went back to her room and
tacked the chart to her bulletin board. <br />
<br />
There were many opportunities to fill in the chart in the years that
followed. She once told the kids at school that Brent talked in
his sleep and called out Rhonda Hill's name, even though it
wasn't true. The teasing caused Brent days and days of misery. When she
realized how cruel she had been, <br />
Lisa apologized sincerely. That night she marked box number 96.
Forgiveness number 211 came in the tenth grade when Lisa failed
to bring home <br />
his English book. Brent had stayed home sick that day and had asked her
to bring it so he could study for a quiz. She forgot and he got a
C. <br />
<br />
Number 393 was for lost keys...418 for the extra bleach she put in the
washer, which ruined his favorite polo shirt...449, the dent she
had put in his car when she had borrowed it. <br />
<br />
There was a small ceremony when Lisa checked number 490. She used a gold
pen for the check mark, had Brent sign the chart, and then
placed it in her memory box. <br />
<br />
"I guess that's the end," Lisa said. "No more screw-ups from me anymore!" <br />
<br />
Brent just laughed. "Yeah, right." <br />
<br />
Number 491 was just another one of Lisa's careless mistakes, but its
hurt lasted a lifetime. Brent had become all that his music
teachers said he would. Few could play the oboe better than he.
In his fourth year at the best music school in the United States, he
received the opportunity of a <br />
lifetime--a chance to try out for New York City's great orchestra. <br />
<br />
The tryout would be held sometime during the following two weeks. It
would be the fulfillment of his young dreams. But he never got
the chance. Brent had been out when the call about the tryout
came to the house. Lisa was the only one home and on her way out
the door, eager to get to work on time. <br />
<br />
"Two-thirty on the tenth," the secretary said on the phone. Lisa did not
have a pen, but she told herself that she could remember it.
"Got it. Thanks." I can remember that, she thought. But she did
not. It was a week later around the dinner table that Lisa
realized her mistake. <br />
<br />
"So, Brent," his mom asked him, "When do you try out?" <br />
<br />
"Don't know yet. They're supposed to call." Lisa froze in her seat. <br />
<br />
"Oh, no!" she blurted out loud. "What's today's date? Quick!" <br />
<br />
"It's the twelfth," her dad answered. "Why?" <br />
<br />
A terrible pain ripped through Lisa's heart. She buried her face in her
hands, crying. "Lisa, what's the matter?" her mother asked. <br />
<br />
Through sobs Lisa explained what had happened. "It was two days
ago...the tryout... two-thirty... the call came... last week."
Brent sat back in his chair, not believing Lisa. <br />
<br />
"Is this one of your jokes, sis?" he asked, though he could tell her
misery was real. She shook her head, still unable to look at
him. <br />
<br />
"Then I really missed it?" She nodded. <br />
<br />
Brent ran out of the kitchen without a word. He did not come out of his
room the rest of the evening. Lisa tried once to knock on the
door, but she could not face him. She went to her room where she
cried bitterly. <br />
<br />
Suddenly she knew that she had to do. She had ruined Brent's life. He
could never forgive her for that. She had failed her family, and
there was nothing to do but to leave home. Lisa packed her
pickup truck in the middle of the night and left a note behind, telling
her folks she'd be all right. She began writing a note to Brent,
but her words sounded empty to her. Nothing I say could make a
difference anyway, she thought. <br />
<br />
Two days later she got a job as a waitress in Boston. She found an
apartment not too far from the restaurant. Her parents tried
many times to reach her, but Lisa ignored their letters. <br />
<br />
"It's too late," she wrote them once. "I've ruined Brent's life, and I'm not coming back." <br />
<br />
Lisa did not think she would ever see home again. But one day in the
restaurant where she worked she saw a face she knew. "Lisa!"
said Mrs. Nelson, looking up from her plate. "What a surprise." <br />
<br />
The woman was a friend of Lisa's family from back home. "I was so sorry
to hear about your brother," Mrs. Nelson said softly. "Such a
terrible accident. But we can be thankful that he died quickly.
He didn't suffer." <br />
<br />
Lisa stared at the woman in shock. <br />
<br />
"Wh-hat," she finally stammered. <br />
<br />
It couldn't be! Her brother? Dead? The woman quickly saw that Lisa did
not know about the accident. She told the girl the sad story of
the speeding car, the rush to the hospital, the doctors working
over Brent. But all they could do was not enough to save him. <br />
<br />
Lisa returned home that afternoon. <br />
<br />
Now she found herself in her room thinking about her brother as she held
the small box that held some of her memories of him. Sadly, she
opened the box and peered inside. It was as she remembered,
except for one item--Brent's chart. It was not there. In its place, at
the bottom of the box, was an envelope. Her hands shook as she
tore it open and removed a letter. <br />
<br />
The first page read: <br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Dear Lisa, </span><br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> It was you who kept count, not me. But if you're stubborn enough to keep count, use the new chart I've made for you. </span><br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Love, </span><br style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Brent </span></i> <br />
<br />
Lisa turned to the second page where she found a chart just like the one
she had made as a child, but on this one the lines were drawn
in perfect precision. And unlike the chart she had kept, there
was but one check mark in the upper left- hand corner. Written in red
felt tip pen over the <br />
entire page were the words: "Number 491. Forgiven, forever." </span></div>
