Memories
You create the loving thoughts that graciously are called memories
Each one a diamond in the crown of someone you hold up in ceremonies
Deserving a place in your mind and heart forever with joy
To be brought up at some other time and place, to be revered like your favorite toy
Enjoyed once again and every time the memories come to the surface
Bright and shining like the morning sunrise it beams from your face
That the memories shared with others bring joy and peace to your soul
So each time you gather in My name, creating memories should be your goal
Open your heart and share who you are with someone new tonight
The memories you create can warm your heart during the darkest night
They bring the joy that comes in the morning after a quiet rest
Memories that transcend time keep your fires burning and are the best
Thing to ease the pain of your day and lighten up your tomorrow
In the bank of your heart you save the memories from which you can borrow
The strength you need to move forward and share their endearing love
So create memories one for another and accept My love from above
(Psa 22:27 NRSV)Â All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD; and all the families of the nations shall worship before him.
(Psa 42:4 NRSV)Â These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I went with the throng, and led them in procession to the house of God, with glad shouts and songs of thanksgiving, a multitude keeping festival.
(Mat 28:20 NRSV)Â and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.
(1 Th 3:6 NIV)Â But Timothy has just now come to us from you and has brought good news about your faith and love. He has told us that you always have pleasant memories of us and that you long to see us, just as we also long to see you.
