One of my favorite movies is "50 First Dates". If you haven't seen it, you should. It's not just the standard boy meets girl, romantic comedy. It has a twist. Henry, played by Adam Sandler, meets Lucy, played by Drew Barrymore, in a coffee shop. But, what Henry soon finds out is that Lucy has lost her short term memory. Every night, when she falls asleep, she loses the memories of what happened the day before. It leads to some unexpected twists and turns to their romance.Memory is something we seem to take for granted. But, could you imagine life without memory? Obviously not being able to remember how to do every day tasks, like feeding ourselves or walking, would make life almost impossible. And, things like not being able to remember where you live or work, would make things extremely difficult. But, beyond all that, not being able to remember all the special moments in life would be quite sad.
The fond memories I have of seeing Sarah walk down the aisle on our wedding day and the births of our two boys, are memories that I hope to never lose. The day I walked the aisle and accepted Christ in my life is still such a vivid memory. There are countless other moments I want to hold onto forever in my mind. The unfortunate thing is that many people, especially as they get older, may start to lose part of their memory. I pray that God preserves my memory and gives me even more wonderful moments in life to remember.

Things change as you get older. Sometimes you forget why you are going into the kitchen or where you put your keys but the memory of the day you accepted Christ you will never forget. The time and day isn't as important as just knowing everyday that you accepted him as your Lord and Saviour. That is His Amazing Grace.
