Memories...

Make them count...

Memories...

There are times in our lives that things are meant to happen,
when they happen, and have a reason for happening

Most of the time unfortunately we don't acknowledge
that at all, many times these things happen so fast that
it's like a mist here then gone,

We have no idea that God has just stamped a memory
in our minds for the remainder of our lives,

With the ever so fast lives we live it is seemingly impossible
to know when God has licked and applied the stamp
to our hearts and minds envelope then sent to our memory bank,

Days turn into months then months to years,
then out of the clear blue sky one day a memory hits us like
a mac truck, we become completely taken aback and in my
case, overwhelmed with emotions

At that moment we will relive that memory as if it just
happened as if it were yesterday, the emotions will flood
our minds and bodies like hurricane Katrina,

When the memory envelope is opened, that memory
is stamped in our hearts and minds for good
or until God calls our names to head home, whether
that be to join him in paradise or dwell in eternal fire

So with that being said, I pray everyday that I will make great memories
to have and hold until I am summed, also to be more aware when these
potential memories are taking place and to help me appreciate everyday
to express love as much as possible and cherish everything God has done
for me, because we never know when are last memory of earth will be,

Let's make our memories count!!!

Remaining keenly aware that, throughout life, we are continually forming memories, should encourage us to conform our behavior to the making of worthwhile--even loving--recollections.
Thanks, J, for so well reminding your readers they are, even now, producing mental videos which will either enhance or haunt their futures.
