MEMORY MARKS

9/10/13 Sometimes it's the little things that can have a BIG impact on our memory bank. Smells, tunes, a soft breeze---all sensory triggers for my memory, such that it is.  My mind's eye seems to reside in my memory and it too can trigger emotional impressions of previous events. 
Visual recall is what occurred this morning as once again (2 times prior) I went to clean the upstairs bathroom. It quickly progressed to emotional recollection as I saw Andrew's (almost 3) scribbles on the tub tile. I couldn't wash it away. I prayed for him instead. 
Maybe when Lucy (almost 2) visits in October, she will be inspired to add her own markings to those of her cousin Andrew. I hope so.
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children (and grandchildren) walk in truth.        (3 John 1:4) 
Family treasures---that's what memory marks are to me,
