“But then I recall all you have done, O LORD; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago.” Psalm 77:11 NLT
The autumn brings new opportunity for finding fun things to do with Famous. This month I plan to take Famous on a mountain hike, stand with him in a pumpkin patch, and sit and watch fireworks one evening at the end of the county fair. I am storing up memories with Famous. He is my gift, one which comes with responsibility. I choose to be faithful to this gift and to honor God, the Giver of all good gifts. My hope and trust is that these memories will turn into blessings even after Famous is no longer by my side. He points me back to the One who so loves me, and he will continue to remind me of that love once he is gone.
God bestowed upon us the gift of memory. This is one way in which we can draw closer to Him. Our memories of his presence, his intervention, his providence, and his grace, result in our natural responses of praise, thanksgiving, and adoration.
Preserve and protect the memories You have given to me, Father, of my journey that continues to lead me closer to You.
