MEMORIES & THINGS

I don't put much stock in "things". They tend to go by the wayside.......
Here one day;gone the next. Know what I mean?
There are some things, though, that I do cherish, for a different reason......My Grandmother Bouterse's "Singer,Featherlight Sewing Machine", because of the memories associated with it. She taught me how to sew ,on that machine, along with teaching me about Jesus, all at the same time. She stitched up my faith in Him, alright, right along with that Christmas apron I made!.......
Then, there was her cast iron skillet.....My oh my, you can't fry Lamb Chops without one, either, and it has to be seasoned just right!.......
"Just like the followers of Jesus", she would say......
Then there's the little broken placque that says "God First", that hung over her bedroom door, in her humble little trailer, until the day she died, and then it came home with me!
Yep, things aren't really all that important, but the memories that go along with them, surely are.....
The memory of Christ's word though is the best "thing" we can hold onto yet! Don't ya think?
