![]() I have been an Elvis fan all my life. One of my favorite songs is one called “Memories” written by Mac Davis. The music is soft, and it has some classic lyrics that causes one to reflect. For example, “Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind; Memories, sweetened through the ages just like wine…” The song can easily send one down memory lane. Not to long ago the Today Show covered a story from my hometown about a grandfather donating a bucket of baseballs (link). The picture went viral because of the comment he made on the letter attached to the bucket. “Hope someone can use some of these baseballs in the batting cages. I found them cleaning my garage. I pitched them to my son and grandson for countless rounds. My son is now 46 y/o and my grandson is 23 y/o. I am 72 and what I won’t give to pitch a couple of buckets to them. They have both moved away. If you are a father cherish these times. You won’t believe how quickly they will be gone.” What an amazing reminder of how important every minute of everyday is to each of us. Scripture reminds of the exact same concept. James 4:14 states, “Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.” Because we are reminded that moments with loved ones are or can be short, we should be more focused to not only create more of them but make them significant. Here are some simple ideas that can help get those memories started….reconnect and stay connected.
