SWEET MEMORIES

I was looking for some books in the attic, when I came across a very old picture from elementary school. I sat down on the carpet and just grinned with tears in my eyes at those funny faces.
There was Bernard on the back row, who is a lawyer now in Miami sitting next to Diane who works in Tavares, Florida at the county seat. Cute little Phillip, whose Mom owned Sally's Dress Shp is now with the Florida Game Commision, and then there was my first sweetheart, Bill, who died before our last reunion. Then was a picture of me in my pigtails.(No comment on me) Next to me sat Tara holding her birthday cake, so it must have been her birthday. She is the mental health director for the Mental Health Communications Corporation of America. The last two were Margaret Headley and Mike Greene.  They both sort of disappeared from our lives because they moved away and we lost contact.
I look at these pictures of us at Rock Springs and think of how much fun we had and how we all fit in together  so well. When we come back together as a class, even though we are as diversified as ca be, there was something that our parents gave us from the beginng that has lasted for almost fifty years!
Jesus did the same thing for His followers. He gave them the good news and from that moment on, they were never the same! They shared a common bond, so that no matter where they went, their fellowship with like believers would always be sweet.
Likewise,no matter where I travel, I can always find that sweetness in the body of Christ!
