On Things Remembered
A Quote to Carry You
August 10, 2015
“A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.” Charles Spurgeon
On things remembered – I’ll admit, I do not have a strong memory when it comes to retaining facts about things that do not interest me. I really have to make an effort to write such things down and refer to them later if I am going to even have a chance of remembering anything about them. I have a much easier time remembering those things that have to do with my own interests.
The same goes for remembering past events in my life. Oh the memories of the wonderful times I’ve shared with my family and friends. Those things remembered, have an uncanny way of entering into the present when I recall them. Sometimes those special moments can be so vivid that they seem tangible, like I am actually reliving them. I suppose the more precious are those things remembered, the closer they are to my heart…and the more I want to keep them alive.
May you recall often, those things remembered that are dear to you. And when you do, may they remain alive and well in your heart always.
Peace and love,
Felecia
