Today,
don’t look into the past or future.
Simply live in the moment.
Throughout
our lives, we are often reminded of
the importance of a day. But on this
particular day, we have the added bonus
of an instructional film that teaches
us the meaning of living each of our
days to their fullest. Today, in theaters
across the U.S. and Canada, The Ultimate
Gift opens and, by doing so, seeks to
open hearts and eyes to the gifts that
rest within every one of us. As Red
Stevens explains to Jason, "I have come
to realize that if I can get that picture
in my mind of maximizing one day, I
have mastered the essence of living
- because life is nothing more than
a series of days." We hope that, in
some small way, this series of mailings
over the past few days has helped keep
that picture in your mind. And, we thank
you for your passion in sharing the
word of how The Ultimate Gift can help
project that important image into the
lives of millions. Have an Ultimate
Day!
Create 52 symbols of your family’s
closeness and importance.
Although
spending time together as a family is
one of the most important things we
do in our lives, so many other things
seem to get in the way. In this modern,
fast-paced life, we all need to step
back and make the effort to be together.
Start a tradition that reminds you of
The Gift of a Day all year long, thanks
to this family-connection concept from
Once Upon A Family®. Place 52 stones
in a jar to represent the 52 precious
weeks you have to enjoy with your loved
ones during the year. Remove one stone
each week at a time when the family
has gathered together, and share your
best moments from that week. Just seeing
the jar of stones sitting on your table
will make you think twice about how
you spend your days and how to make
the most of the little time we do have
together. And, to add to the sense of
connection, make a day out of choosing
the stones that will represent your
year of togetherness. It’s an unforgettable
family experience.
