Memories

This past week, I have spent a lot of extra time putting the final touches on powerpoint slide shows for our church's 25th anniversary celebration this weekend. I have enjoyed looking over old pictures and watch children grow up right before my eyes as I page through the different pictures. Along the way I have remembered special events and days which have faded from my immediate memory. I have experienced little pangs of regret or sadness at the loss of friends who have moved away and I have not kept up with them. I also remember the friends and acquaintances who have died over the 20 plus years and the times spent with them. Many times over the past couple of weeks, my husband has come into the room to peak at a picture after he hears a chuckle from me. I appreciate the people who asked me to take on this task. It has been a blessing. Happy 25th anniversary Word of Hope Lutheran Church!
