First of everything is so important... Look at parents for example.  The first time your child does anything, it is made sure to be photographed and documented.  :)  The first time your child smiles at you, their first step, their first word.... Your brain can't help but to remember those moments.

I'm learning more and more that you can't do this life alone.  We were never meant to... Small task, big task, it doesn't matter... It always takes a team of people; a community.  We are all meant to be a part of a body; Christ's body.
