Good Things

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:26 KJV

The old saying goes, “All good things come to an end”, and there is always the fear that it is true. You know when something is going so well that you don’t want it to stop? It doesn’t seem to work that way for bad things, because they seem to keep popping up, even after their ‘sell by date’ is well past.

How about looking at it another way? If something is so good that you have a fear it will end, then how about taking steps to keep the memory alive, long after the good time has ended. That is not hard to do, and it is very effective. After all, we do it all the time when we are growing up by looking at old photos and videos to remind us of the special times which have become a part of history, and cannot be brought back.

So, do I really think all good things always come to an end? Only if we let them, and don’t take measures to keep those special days alive in our heart. With that in mind, I would say it is very important to hold family and special friend’s memories dear, and keep them alive, even though you may be separated by great distance. It doesn’t have to be ‘out of sight, out of mind’ after all, unless we let it happen. Let’s not fall into that trap! As it says in the Message translation of Esther 4:14:

Who knows? Maybe you were made…..for just such a time as this.”
