When I answered my phone this morning I recognized a friendly voice. It was by good buddy Sue, she needed a phone number of a mutual friend. Remember when you used to know everyone phone number! You stored them in you brain for instant recall. That`s a blast from the past, memory?
Of course, I would have to hang up, look up the number and call her back! We did have time for a quick chat and a prayer before hanging up.
I know this is a difficult time for Sue, she is still recovering from the grief of loosing a very dear young friend in a boating accident last summer. I don`t remember the exact date, but I believe it been close to a year.
I`ve always found in amazing how our brains seem to automatically program this information. We slowly move into grief mode without thinking about time or anniversary dates. I witnessed this first hand with my mother as the anniversary date of my brother Robin`s death rolled around year after year. It been over 40 years! July 16,1969, a date that changed our family forever.
Oops, got a little side tracked. What a blessing to have family and friends that will never let memories of loved ones fade away!
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
