Scientists have discovered a new spray that, when taken before sleep, can help boost memory. There is actually more to the story but I can’t remember… (Kidding!) This would be a great deal for students who crammed for tests & then slept on the info. I think I could use a shot of the stuff myself.
Honestly, I’ve had a great life & some great memories. Ministry & family trips have taken me all across this country & into a couple of others. I have so many laugh-out-loud stories that happened in a crusade, camp, revival, retreat, mission trip, church service, or just in the course of life.
More than just the events & crazy happenings, God has placed some amazing people in my life. Every so often someone posts, or ‘tags’, me in a photo, sends it or places it on facebook or the web. Some I’m not too sure I really like being plastered up there! All in fun though.
When I recall events, places, or people I often say a quick prayer for the churches or folks involved. I many not know where they are or what they’re doing, but God knows. He knows our deepest needs. The Apostle Paul had that thought in mind as he mulled over the folks at Philippi. He had great memories & was thankful for the life journey with them. He prayed every time he thought of them.
"Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now. And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns." Philippians 1:3-6 NLT
What about you? Do you have any great memories of people God blessed you with in life? What is your earliest memory of church? What godly person has God placed in your life that you are thankful for? What is the funniest, craziest story that makes you laugh just thinking about it?
Share it with me. If you don’t mind, I’ll just ‘tag’ YOU & your story & let others in on the story or joke. More than anything, do you have a memory of when you first came to know Jesus as more than a name? If you don’t have a memory of a time when Jesus became real, I’d love to introduce you to my Friend.
