Memories…

Today a childhood friend and brother of heart would be turning 60…I am sad this morning as I miss this friend, our quirky visits, his bright blue eyes that sparkled like sun on water and his laugh…he had the best laugh ever! If Bobby laughed everyone laughed…See, a smile just creeped out and onto my face. A Cherished Memory!!! ❤️

Memories are the pictures in our minds that allow us to carry people, places, events and the simple passing of time with us always. I’ve been going through boxes of pictures separating them per child to eventually make each of them a memory book!!! So Many Memories!!

What a time travel this has been and I’ve loved it…getting to show my grandchildren what their parents looked like at their ages and OH MY GOSH GRAMMIE IS THAT YOU!!! Surprise, grammie didn’t always look like a grammie … Lol !!! Oh the Memories!!!

Another great form of memories and time travel is a journal…I have totes upon totes of journals that I’ve written in from the day I took my 3 babies and headed out on my own…in June of this year that was 32 years ago. I will get nostalgic and dig into these chambers of time and read about life … When I was pulling the wagon…God and I!!! The little red Radio Flyer wagon was always the illustration I used, especially in prayer…”God, my wagon feels so heavy right now, I’m trying to get up this icy mountain in roller skates and I need your help!!!” You get the picture…A Tired Me Memory!!

God… Memories… His word speaks of remembering!!! Psalms 77:11-13 NCV ” I remember what the Lord did; I remember the miracles you did long ago. I think about all the things you did and consider your deeds. God, your ways are holy. No God is as great as our God.” A Scripture about Memory!!!

Memories of times of trial and the answered prayers or the unanswered prayers for that matter. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I have been saved by God saying no!!! Anyway, the point is upon facing another trial: doctor’s report, bank statement, a postponement, a delay, a disappointment, whatever the case may be, remember he brought you through last time put your faith back where it needs to go and remember he will bring you through this time also…A Blessed Memory!!!

It’s Sunday, our Lords day…go outside if you can or open your windows wide and breathe in the fresh air, get out the croquet set, fire up the bbq…pull out the board games and create a family challenge day of fun. Grab that book you’ve been wanting to read and find a cozy nook… whatever your day looks like…go out and create some memories. You might never know when that picture will pop back up and bring a smile to your face. A New Memory!!!

Go make a smile picture and have a most blessed day…weather looks like it’s a sunshine on your shoulder day!!! Go enjoy and thank you for joining me. 🥰
