Sweet memories...

Something that reminds you of someone or something...triggers thoughts that takes you to a special time in your life that made you smile.

Prayers for a Tuesday morning full of peace and purpose sent to you today Champions!

Let's take a journey this morning, shall we? Think back to a sweet memory you have stored away in your memory bank. Could be of a child, parent, grandparent, friend. Could be of a special holiday, spent together...Possibly a song? A smell that reminds you of someone and just connects you with them for a moment.

God is so good. He created us to be able to store those sweet little nuggets away and they surface at just the right time.

Photographs are great reminders for our memory banks as well. The photo I shared with this post is of a rose bush that once belonged to my mother. It is now planted in my yard. My mother has gone on to be with the Lord. However, each spring when this rose bush blooms...it's kinda like my mom is smiling at me and saying hello.

You might have lost a loved one and have sweet reminders that you cherish?You might even be still walking through a tuff spot, if memories are what remain?Grieving takes time and certainly isn't the same for everyone.

I can say from experience that with God, he does give you those special tender memories just when you need them. I kinda look at them now as a beautiful tribute to those that have gone before me. Memories are so special.

Each day...you and me both are the participants in making new memories for those we love. I encourage you to join with me- to make a decision starting today to leave a legacy that stands strong.

Sweet memories are worth more than anything money can buy!

May God's peace fill your heart, as you reflect on those sweet moments in time, as you're actively participating!

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
