Memories of Yesteryear

I'm a nostalgic person. Kathy and I both like to go to flea markets, garage sales and antique stores searching for treasures from the past. Sometimes they'll be things I can sell on EBay but mostly it's stuff we like from the "old days". Most cost a buck or two, some less, some a little more. I don't live in the past but I like the memories that things can bring. So here's a little test of a few things for those moving on in years. See if they bring back thoughts from years ago...

Things change. Every generation looks back at those things that remind them of their youth. We go to class reunions to see old friends who we may or may not recognize in a crowd as we once would. We watch old movies with people of different clothing styles and hairdos, we listen to old songs with words that only our generation relates to and visit places from our past that are overgrown with what were once small plants and in need of repair. Life goes on.

The one constant that every generation shares however is Jesus Christ. Worship styles may change. Buildings look more modern. Communication methods are different. It's not the same place our parents drug us to when we were little.

But inside with the unseen it is different. "Jesus Christ is the same Yesterday, Today and 
Forever." With this we have no need to look back, only forward.
