Was touching to hear about the rescue of the Chilean miners in general, but especially touching to me was a comment I heard on the news that one of the men who was rescued gave rocks as a gift of remembrance to onlookers after being pulled to the surface. This article on Yahoo gives sounds and sights to 5 touching moments.
Next time that you or I have a gift to give, and wonder how we'll manage, lets remember that it isn't the gift that matters. It is the loving spirit of gratitude, celebration, humility, or whatever was in that miner's heart or our own. The most magnificient gift in the world, won't satisfy if the person receiving it, knows it was done merely because of a had to do it spirit. But I imagine all of those who received or even heard of the rocks as gifts will remember how a simple gift can speak volumes.
I wish for you the feeling that you have enough, and the knowledge that for most of us, we have all we need right here in any moment.

This is such a touching and victorious moment about the courageous Chilean minors. God has a purpose in all this and it is for the better. It makes you wonder about all the greed in the world and how laborers are treated. I hope that a lot of good will come of this. Thanks for posting this. JB
