Boxing Up Memories
Posted by Chris
Andrea & I spend most of our Saturday working through cleaning out the garage. I know, sounds like a lot of fun, doesn't ? :-)
One of the good parts about it (besides the fact that I can walk into my garage this morning & feel good about the fact that it is clean & organized), is going through boxes from each of our pasts. We have boxes upon boxes upon boxes of letters, yearbooks, pictures, artifacts, awards, T-shirts held onto for sentimental reasons, and the like. We have enough of these mementos boxes that we probably could have been done with the garage around 7pm instead of what became 10pm by the time we were through!
It's always amazing to me to look back and see how God has changed me/us. Even in the last 12 years since graduating from college, I have changed so much. It is good to be reminded of the people God has placed in your path along the way, as well.
This is another reason I love Facebook so much, also. I've been able to connect with former students, friends from childhood & as well as college, and get to know people that we are walking alongside right now. Spurred on the nostalgia I was able to re-connect with several college classmates just yesterday! God is good!
