Through the year

I Remember the days of old Psalm. 143:

Sometimes our minds run back through the years and yearn for that better time and place the "good old days."
     But for some, the past harbors only bitter memories. Deep in the night they ponder their own failures, disillusionments, and fantasies, and think of the cruel hand life has dealt them.
     It's better to remember the past as David did, by  contemplating the good that God has done, to mediate on all [His] works:. . .  muse on the work of [His] hands" (Psalm 143:5). . As we call to mind the lovingkindness of the Lord, we can see His blessings through the years. These are the memories that foster the highest good. They evoke a deep longing for more of God and more of His render care. They transform the past into a place of familiarity and fellowship with Lord.
       I heard a story an elder women who wouldn't be in silence for hours in her rocking chair, hands folded in her lao, eyed gazed off into the far distance. One day her daughter asked: " Mother what do you think about when you sit there so quietly? " Her mother softly with a twinkle in her eye. "That's just between Jesus and me."
        I pray that our memories and meditations would draw us into His presence.
I have promised you My presence with you everywhere you go; i will never leaves you As you travel here below
