Our lives are filled with memories. I am so blessed to have so many happy memories in my life already.
Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.” - Kevin Arnold, The Wonder Years
It actually is possible to bring a memory back to the surface and experience some of the same familiar feelings. And that is the beautiful thing about memories—pleasant or unpleasant, we deal with them each and every day. They become what we fondly refer to as our story.
Each and every one of my memories reminds me of God’s wonder – acts of love; friendship; creation; humor; and creativity. Although He may not be so obvious in some of our memories, God is present in them all.
I have memories where God is more centre stage...Tomorrow is our 16th wedding anniversary. Sixteen years ago tonight, Jody and I had just finished our wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner and were on our way back to my house. I remember both of us being very excited and very, very nervous - so my Dad made us both a shot of Rock and Rye to calm our nerves. LOL ....Nervous then, blessed now - and always! ♥
Memories can be very precious to us. It’s these memories that I have of God that help me to continually have faith in my Creator, who loves me and desires to be a part of my life. It’s these experiences/memories that I can share with others to help point them to our Savior.
God is so amazing! He is definitely worth remembering.
Blessings,
Dalinda
