10 Great Ways to Remember What God has Done

Written by Sandra Joseph

alt

Photos – Frozen still images that help us visually remember people, places and things. It is amazing all you can do with photos these days – calendars, mugs, collages, digital books, hand-made scrapbooks and so much more.
Journals – I use a large 8.5 x 11 size journal to keep cards, notes, emails, sermon notes, my thoughts, ideas on scriptures, prayers and more. In many ways, my journals are like scrapbooks only without all the extras (no special artwork).
Blogs – Did you know that you can actually have your blog printed into a book at http://www.blurb.com/create/book/blogbook.
Jewelry – Many pieces of my jewelry have special memories and meanings. Of course, one great company that has jewelry that can help you tell your stories is Share HIS Story. I wear the My Family Bracelet, My Faith Journey Bracelet and The Passion to Pray Watch. I also enjoy wearing jewelry that Bill and my family has given me.
Frames – Our home is filled with frames that hold special memories. The frames in our home are filled with art work, notes, and photos! You can find great frames in many places and often at a great price.
Figurines and Statues – I have several that remind me of special people or memories. I especially enjoy my Willow Tree Thank You Angel (from Alycia to represent the first time she gave me flowers as a little girl).
Artwork with scripture on it helps remind me of God’s Word.
A Prayer Plannizer from A Passion to Pray which helps you leave a prayer legacy.
Antiques from our Grandparents. I have several antiques including many of Bill’s and my Grandmother’s dishes. It is always fun for me to use these pieces and remember these women.
Sweet little gifts from my daughters. Above my kitchen sink, it a poem that Audrianna wrote titled “My Mother’s Hands” that speaks to me everyday. And another one in my kitchen is this embroidered piece of cloth from Laryssa (picture at left). If you have ever heard me speak, then you know the story behind this gift. It is a humbling reminder to me that I am loved as a mother even when I don’t deserve to be.
