Picture
Seven or eight years ago I was in a really bad car accident. It was pretty impactful on my life. Those few seconds shaped my personality, my physical condition, my theology, my finances, my relationships and my perspective. To remember that and mark that time when God helped me I keep a picture of me taken the morning after the accident. My face was all scared and bandaged and stitched. My eyes were swolen. My hair all over the place. I was wearing some clothes that they had in the lost and found at the hospital. I needed a cane to move around. Anyways, I keep this picture in my Bible so that I'm reminded of God's provision. Kind of how Samuel made a pile of rocks when God helped the Israelites. People walked by and remembered why the pile of rocks was there and praised God for His help. I do that with a picture.Tonight I was pretty sad when I walked into the living room and saw that the picture must have falled out of my Bible and Harley (our dog) had ripped it up. I put him to bed early.
Do you have anything like that? Something that you keep to remind you of a time or trial in you life that God helped you through?

i think my old journals are like this, tim. i might have a similar feeling to yours if those journals were ate up by your dog. they remind me of who I used to be and what i used to think and i can see the difference between now and then...which is meaningful.
