| My dog tuffy contemplating a new day |
Philippians 1:3-5
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.
Yesterday in worship I told a story of Mr. Rogers and a story that he told about a childhood memory. Mr. Rogers told of his beloved neighbor, an older lady that was kind to him while growing up. Rogers stated that this lovely lady would make toast sticks for him, that were nothing more than toast with butter and jam cut into stick pieces. Rogers would show up on her door step and she would say: "What are you doing here Freddie, are you wanting toast sticks"? As Rogers grew the older neighbor instructed Fred Rogers on how to make his own toast sticks, a memory, taste, and a feeling that he carried with him all his life.
As we begin a new week today, what are your toast stick memories and how to they guide your faith? As we begin a new week and share experiences with family, friends, and co-workers my prayer is that you build memories that are memorable. As we go about our faith life, may our memories and journey with Christ be like warm toast dripping with lots of butter and homemade jam. May we build memories that reside with us daily, until we stand before his glory for eternity in heaven.
