Treasured Memories

 by Kay Heitsch

When you think about memories you've made with friends...Those memories become treasures. ~ Quotes ~

It's funny how little things can bring back a treasured memory. When our son Todd died his friends came over and chose things that had meaning for them. Much to my surprise several chose a spike out of his running shoes. These spikes had no value except for a treasured memory attached to it.

One of Todd's friends carried this spike in his book bag for years. One day the book bag was stolen. Justin said the only thing he felt bad about was the little spike out of Todd's shoe that was gone.

We all have treasured memories of people. Our Bible verse today says, I thank my God every time I remember you. Philippians 1:31

When we think of our treasured memories we can thank God every time we remember them.
