“THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!”
Philippians 1:3-6a
“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it.”
For some of us old folks the name Bob Hope elicits warm memories. One of his signature songs was the title of today’s Blessings From the Heart. Memories are very precious things. Memories will always remain with us. Our precious loved ones may have slipped off into eternity, but the memories that they have left are always there.
I have often mentioned to families that I meet with prior to officiating a funeral service that the greatest inheritance that can ever be given are their sweet memories. Families may fuss, fight, and sue over property and funds, but memories are irrevocable.
Frequently I receive email or snail mail messages from individuals or families that I once served as pastor. They often share the memory of some incident that has remained with them over the years. The flood of memories that I experience fills me with determination to keep on keeping on.
With or without such messages, we can receive encouragement as we recall people who have been a part of our life and ministry. Please consider sending a prayer and a message to them. It will bless you as well as them.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
