You know those old memories you have? The ones that you know took place, but they are so faint, you almost wondered if they even happened?
Lately I have relived several memories. There are times when I smell a certain smell, or see a specific shade of light, or get a feeling in my heart while driving in the country on my way to Junction City, and it reminds me of Idaho. That I really lived there. That I really hurt there.
Then I go to Massachusetts, and visit my family. And the memories flood my mind. I can't believe all these things really happened.
I drive by NCU, and remember living and working and eating there. And now its nothing. But I know it really happened.
So now I'm trying to really take in what is going on around me. Because eventually, some or most of these people will have filtered out of my life, and I will miss them, and I will remember smells and sounds, and places, and I will be comforted in knowing that these things really happened.
Dear Jesus,
Help me to value what is around me today.
