MEMORIES

 

 

            Memories are fragile links, gently entwining the past.  They are also the catalyst to the future.  Pebbles of doubt and fear, stones from triumph and trial, have now been formed by God, a solid foundation to His faithfulness.

            Memories are broken dreams, re-made by God to walk upon towards His higher goals.  Accomplishments yet undone stirred on by the past.  Success and failure blending into one motivation: to fulfill His purpose for my life.

            Memories are not all pleasant; yet, I wouldn’t part with a single one.  For, in them I see God’s hands mysteriously locked together--myself held tight in the middle--with each memory strengthening His grip, each one revealing the patient control His hands always had on my life.

            Now I go on in time and place, but I carry God’s love, gentleness, and integrity, encased, as it were, in my memories.

[Marie]

You make good points, and, as always, your writing is excellent.
But I spend a great deal of time trying to block out my memories. Even the happy ones make me sad, because of what I no longer have.
