An interesting feature of social media is TBT (Throwback Thursday) where people post pictures and memories of past days. A few recent events have had me using my memory overtime. I\u2019m actually communicating with friends via social media that I had not visited within fifty years. One of my fondest memories of my grandfather was sitting on his front porch (You do remember front porches don\u2019t you?) and listening to him remember his past experiences. How appropriate that at his funeral, we sang, \u201cPrecious memories, how they linger, how they ever flood my soul. In the stillness of the midnight, precious, sacred scenes unfold.\u201d Speaking of funerals, a couple of them in recent days have jogged my memory to days and events of earlier times. While we can neither relive, nor recapture the past, we can remember. Surely one of God\u2019s greatest gifts is the gift of memory, and one of life\u2019s greatest griefs is the loss of same. The Old Testament is filled with accounts of memory as God desired His chosen people to remember certain things. The writer of Proverbs proclaims, \u201cThe memory of the righteous is blessed\u201d (Proverbs 10:7). May you be blessed this week with precious memories.<\/p>\n
