Memorial Box Monday: Memories

I personaly love memories! Isn't that what Memorial Box Monday is about? Looking back at all the memories we have, looking back on the GOD memories. If you have read my blog for a while, you will probably remeber we moved in July, so this last weekend, we went back to help our old neighbors move. These neighbors are truly like family to us, and their story of faith is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! So, as I went down to the pond, and the tree house, and our fort one last time, I remembed all the shared MEMORIES. I think back to all the hours spent there, all the memories made there. Looking back on the MEMORIES today...

Memorial Box Monday: The Rainbow

Way back in Genesis, there was a flood, meant to wash the world clean of sin. God saved 2 of every species, and his one faithful servant and his family. After the flood, he made a oath to Noah, there would never be a flood to wipe out almost the entire population of the world again. As a sign of this promise, God put his rainbow in the clouds, and today, when we see those vibrant colors in the sky, we remember. God's promise to Noah and to us. That reminder comes to me just when I need it. That rainbow shows up at just the right time. To remind us that God is faithful. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow too. The rainbow, a beautiful, vibrant thing that God put in the sky, just to remind us of his mercy, love, grace, and promise. Let's look at that rainbow in our life today, and remember the promise God has given us all.

"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful."
Hebrews 10:23

Memorial Box Monday: Our Red Bird

Before we moved the latest time, we would have a little red bird visit us, all year through. It was very bright among our back woods, and was cheery to us some mornings. I have noticed that I miss the red bird, along with it's friend that would come tap on our windows. But the other day, actually the other 2 days, we saw a red bird. Bright among the few tree's we have here. It reminds me that God brings us little surprises, and brings us back to remember the small, but special details.
"Mom! Look, there is a red bird! Just like ours back where we used to live! I was thinking about that bird the other day!"
It reminds me of our huge tree's, and the little red bird, and it's friend that would come in the spring! The friend would tap at our windows, the red bird remind us of God's Majesty with it's hot red glow. And I was thinking about the bird, and guess what? God sent us another little red bird! I hope he will visit us again soon.
