Hello, my friends and welcome to the Live Inspired podcast Monday morning moments with John O'Leary.

I'm going to begin this episode with a quote from my friend.

His name is Henry Nowan,

one of my favorite authors. Nauan wrote this. The scars exist because the wounds have healed.

Love that quote. Here we go. Let's roll. At the conclusion of filming on fire the film

my bride Beth meticulously collected and then arranged more than 100 photos from the months of scouting locations, of walking onto sets, of pre-dawn staff meetings, and of late evening crew reps.

She included photos capturing the emotions of shooting specific scenes, the fear, the day of the fire, the struggle of learning how to walk in hospital, the joy of coming home after five months being there, and then the elation of a first kiss and the agony of a final goodbye.

Paging through these photos and that photo album recently was my little

niece, her name is Lottie. And while we page through it together, brought back all the

memories of filming on fire. It was, however, a picture I had spent little time contemplating

that my niece most wanted to talk about why it caught her attention.

And more importantly, what she said about it might elevate the way you view things in your

life today. Let me explain a little bit more. Now, as an uncle, you are of course not supposed

to have favorites.

But Little Lottie makes neutrality extraordinarily difficult.

She is that adorable.

As this precious five-year-old girl and I sat at the kitchen table flipping through the pages of pictures,

she asked me about each one.

Who's this?

What are you doing?

Is that a real fire truck?

Why is she wearing a wedding dress?
