So...I am going to try and do this. My sweet bloggy friend Linny from aplacecalledsimplicity.blogspot.com challenged us, sort of, to do this! Her family has a display case where they place items that remind them of times when God has been there for them (not that He isn't ALWAYS with us!) I don't have a memorial box, BUT...Linny is having a contest and maybe I will win one! That would be SOOOO cool! Pick me, pick me! :)
Anyhow...I am going to strive to be truly MINDFUL of events where I can see His Hand, or when I've clearly heard His voice (be it by circumstances, or actually audible...and YES, He does speak audibly, at times, even today!)
I think this is a marvelous way to truly be PRESENT in the moment, and savor each day. I suspect there are many "memory box worthy" moments that we simply miss, because we hurry through our days, to just get THROUGH them. It's a challenge, and one I am pondering and meditating on. I'll keep ya posted! On Mondays! Let's see what wondrous thing I REALIZE that God is doing this coming week. I am excited!
Blessings...Nancy

I follow Linn's blog as well. I read your comment and decided to pop over for a look. I don't have a box either. I think it is a great idea. I to believe you when you say we are often to busy to hear or see how God works in our lives. I know I am guilty of that. I have to stop, look and feel. I know he is present I just always see it. Anyway thanks for sharing. Here is hoping you fill you box.
