Memories and something missing from my morning
Are memories a bad thing? Bad to hold on to? Is it wrong to want to hold onto
the things that bring back the memories? Are we to live only in the present
(well, God says, Yes), clinging to nothing of our past - of the lives we have lived
- of the lives we have built? Clinging only to God. Discarding all mementos
- all reminders. I try to tell myself this would be setting only the best example
for my children... and yet... How does it affect our children when we give away
all the memories, holding onto no thing of theirs from their childhood?I am trying to convince myself to do as Yshwe commands... go and sell all that
you have... leave everything but Him...
I can't seem to bring myself to do it, no matter how much the prodding is there.
I can't abandon the things of my life - of the days of raising my children.
I feel though, I am being disobedient... ignoring what I am being told to do...
stubbornly resistant... not trusting.in other notes:
Something is missing this morning... or someone... where oh where has my Frankie gone?
... rainy days and Tuesdays ?
It is windy today too....
1 + 1 + 1 = melancholy
update:
Oh my is it nasty out... I was not prepared for how cold when I stepped out...
coming back in... How can it be so warm up here? ... so thankful for warm home.

This is the problem of the meaning of our existence. I feel what you feel. Watching the old photos is fun but it makes me sad too. As you say, for the future we must trust God.
Great post, Lynn, great question
Love♥

RYC : Your comment on my site was a "sweet" analysis.
Very appreciated. Thanks Lynn
I cherish good memories, especially of loved ones gone on before, but I so very much look forward to a future time when we are together again forever with our Lord!
I think it is what makes me sad.. is not feeling certain that my loved ones
will be where I will be. I do not feel we can look forward to that reunion
because not everyone is going to God. To me, I feel this will make heaven
very sad. I imagine it is why Yshwe told us that we must love nothing more
than the Father Himself. I must believe that God gives as many chances as
it takes, so that we may all be rejoined together in eternity one day.
I pray to be the angel that guides my lost loved ones after I have achieved
heaven, but I am not even sure how long that path may be for myself to achieve.
I think memories can be good, bad, and ugly. I try to focus on the good ones.

I don't know what to say. Following Jesus is very challenging if you think about it. I really do think that he wants most of us to stay where we are and make a difference even if we lose friends and resources.
There was a definate pervasive feeling of meloncholy throughout Xanga today.
Let's hope tomorrow is a brighter day, and prayers for all those who need them.
Don't blow away in that wind.
P.S. I see you found Frank.
Yes, Frank found me.
My day just isn't right without him.
It seems that we are to trust God - the story of the rich young man is brought to mind. He wanted to get to heaven. Jesus told him to keep the commandments (he had). Then Jesus said that to be perfect he should sell everything and follow him. The man went away very sad. The disciples then asked how anyone could gain heaven. Jesus said it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get to heaven. BUT for God ALL THINGS are possible. We just have to trust...
