Memories Are Important.

Memories are important through out life. They swarm our minds and bring old views into current perspective. No matter if they are good or bad we still learn from them. We need to be cautious about dwelling on them.

Dwelling on negative memories can bring forth past problems and feelings. We need not to forget them, but remember them to correct and sustain our futures. Focusing on the negative aspects of our life's in both the past and present will turn us from our path towards perfection. Our main focus should be towards returning to our Father in Heaven. How do we do such a thing? The answer is not a word, but rather a man, Jesus Christ. We can only return to our Father by obeying and following His Son. Although we don't have memories of being with Him or are Father before this life. We do and can receive memories of His gospels blessings in this life.

Bringing forth positive memories can influence us to be humble, happy, and grateful. We should be recording the positive memories we create or enjoy. Creating and enjoying are two very distinct things. We create uplifting memories by love. We enjoy them by others love. Love is the very reason our brother Jesus Christ toke upon himself all of our sins. We can feel a greater love to Christ by obeying his commandments and following him. When we obey whom the Father sent, then the Father will send His Spirit.With His Spirit we will possess if we continue to follow His Son; a new everlasting love for all mankind. If we continue to love all mankind, we will continue to create and enjoy new positive memories not only for ourselves but for others.

A great way to keep memories is by keeping a journal. Journals are not Facebook or Myspace! They are notes on paper. No matter if its a small binder or a piece of paper in your pocket. Thoughts written down are thoughts that are important! Try keeping two journals. One for your everyday life. Another about your memories or experiences with following Christ.

I know keeping memories recorded in journals are a great matter. I know if we continue to learn from the past, we will have a brighter future. I know Jesus Christ lives and is the Son of God. I know he suffered and toke upon himself our sins. I know if we remember him and strive to follow him we will be blessed. Memories are made everyday. Its our choice if we make them positive or negative.
