Rememberance...ode to the OT
Remembering can be such a fickle thing. Some things we love to remember, some we try really hard to forget but don't always succeed, sometimes we don't remember the things that we should or maybe it's that we don't think of them often enough.
Tonight a fellow student came to my room to talk. We ended up remembering the time when we became Christians and the times since when God had been so faithful to us. It's good to remember. It brings hope and encouragement. Not just for myself but to those I share with.
I'm also reminded of the Israelites and their tradition of passing down the stories from one generation to the next of the miracles that God performed, His faithfulness at every turn and all the promises that He kept. Reflection on these things are good for body, mind, and soul.

Hey friend - I remember when you became a Christian and before that! I am so glad that God brought us back together as friends! It is awesome to think about how we worked at Fanny's so long ago (and I was so shy and naive - you were so bold and worldly) - we got along all right at work - but never did it enter my mind the path that God has put us both on would meet again and we would become close friends. Thank you God! Although I do regret not reaching out to you at Fanny's - but neither of us was in a place for that then (at least I wasn't). So my friend, I am so grateful for you and praise God for the many memories and good times we have had together!
