Remember.
MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️
“Be careful to never forget what you yourself have seen. Do not let these memories escape from your mind as long as you live! And be sure to pass them on to your children and grandchildren.” - Deut 4:9
The discipline of remembering. And sharing.
I don’t know about you, but as I get older, memories and the details can get foggy. This is a huge reason why I journal like it’s my job. I often think about my kids sitting on the floor, going through my hundreds upon hundreds of journals after I’m gone. Kind of scary…but hey, I won’t care:).
Years ago, I was asking the Lord for some direction and what He wanted me to do. His answer was simple:
“Just share the stories.”
And so, I started sharing.
Our stories, our experiences, our remembrances…carry life. They matter. They need to be told. And retold. We need to engage in the discipline of remembering.
When we share our journeys and what we’ve learned along the way, others can go further, faster on theirs. Sharing what you’ve actually walked through and learned from carries way more weight and authority than simply repeating something you heard from someone else.
Don’t let the memories escape. Write them down.
