So many people lived their lives before I came into this world. Some of them left behind records of their lives; like the stories told on audio cassette by my Pompa Nicklin and my great-grandfather Crissman.
Others left a written record. Their words can be from a journal, diaries and meaningful letters.
I like when any kind of record is coupled with a photo.
The best of what has been left behind is our scriptures. We had a Family Home Evening the other night and found a way to build a bridge with all that have come before us and what messages they have left behind for us to embrace. The messages we found were reminders that the Lord loves us, he watches over our lives especially when our challenges seem HUGE (thanks to David and Goliath) , we have a purpose and an important work to do in this life (thanks to Esther) and we can be a force for good in this world, one person at a time (thanks to Abinidi)
Here is the formula.
they*there*then
to
i*here*now
