I
pulled out the picture of my grandmother holding back tears. I have
only a few memories of her loving smile and teaching me to love
life! I slept with a blankie she made me until it
started to fall apart. Now years latter I sat across the country from
all that I had known and loved, so far away from my friends and
family. My mother had sent me a box with pictures from my
grandmothers mission. For the first time in my life I realized the
importance of remembering those who have lived before us. I now have
these pictures hanging on my wall, they remind me that I
am not alone, that others
have walked through and experienced what I have and
that I have angels all around me.
God
has given us amazing resources so that we may learn of those who have
passed on before us. He has done this so that we can learn
from them and feel
of their love. So that we can feel the spirit of
Elijah, in this way God can turn the hearts of the children to their
fathers (Malachi 4:6) I know that in this way God can save His
children by reminding them of the promises He holds true to and the
life we must live.
