Today will be a memory tomorrow, so why not make it a good one? 3284

Live it..
For some, the things that cost the most mean the most. But those same people can change their mind after a brush with disaster. My heart goes out to people who have been victims of disaster, losing possessions and possibly even family members. We've all seen the interviews on television afterwards, when through tears someone thanks God they didn't lose their family. Without question, there are times when it's easier to recognize what's important and what's just stuff.

I've been so blessed recently to be reunited with old friends and family via Facebook. Revisiting the past with a friend is priceless; you either love it or grieve over something all over again. For example, reconnecting with a friend and hearing the "lost" recordings of Redemption has truly blessed me. I'm pleasantly surprised to hear a pretty good, one time live recording on a house sound system known for its ups and downs. Then, I remember our practice times. They were always brief and usually on our way to be someplace else. I also recall the feeling that I considered our sound more significant than either of my two friends, so we didn't sing much except on a special occasion. Then, when one friend moved away and it all came to an end, I recall the grief of losing something I had no power to keep. You may relate to these feelings as a recurring theme in your own life. If so, I hope you will consider with me, the opportunity to make today special for someone else and thereby make good memories for yourself tomorrow.

Pray it
The only One who can take this mess and make it a good memory is You, something You've done all my life. TY!
