What are memories?
If not hidden treasures of past occurrences etched in our minds
Vivid pictures that we safely store
That we shall sit on the beach
Or under the moonlight
Or during dinners with our families
And narrate back in the days stories
Stories that will build our children
And who knows transform the world too.
But what memories do we carry around?
What wisdom will we pass on??
what evidence will the heavens write on us??
Memories of this age!!!!
The funny thing about memories is that they ain't fantasies or dreams
Memories are past occurrences
What stories will we have for the products of our generation
Think about the power of your actions
Will we brag of sex with hookers??
Will we brag of being conquerors with women??
Each Friday is a new woman??
Maybe the drinking sprees?
The vulgar talk will do?
Or perhaps how much we've conned people??
Maybe its the mwakenyas in the exam room??
Think about
To your kid, your the hero
Are these the hero stories to narrate??
What kids will we bring up??
Do you know its our responsibility to raise our children in the fear of the Lord...in reverence of the King of Kings
The time is now
The time to create memories of power is now!!
I am tired of being cliche personally!!!
What about purposeful living??
What about self control??
What about self worth??
What about the power of our words??
God says: Rejoice young man in your youth
let your heart cheer you in the days of your faith
walk in the ways of your heart
and in the sight of your eyes
but know that for all these
God will bring you into judgement Ecc. 11:9
God knew man will follow his heart that is deceitful above all
He knew his eyes would lust for the temporary stuff
So He set rules
Not compulsory military ones
But He gave us the free will to choose
Choose ye today what kind of life you wanna believe
Your life will paint your memories
Choose your canvas wisely
Select your brushes with intelligence
Pick your colors wit-fully
Do your painting like the creator
Paint it beautifully.
Make the memories worth the audience.
