I am glad God gifts us all differently. I have often wondered how He chooses our gifts for us. One of the gifts that I have been given is the ability to remember things. I feel tremendously blessed to have a good memory. I credit my dad for a lot of it as he was always able to capture things in his mind. I can remember numbers and details very accurately.....they are just vivid to me. So much so that if my wife needs to remember something, she makes sure to tell me to remember for her. I don't get why she can't do it, but I know she trusts that I will. She laughs at me when I ask her to remind me of something. My memory has allowed me to relive manygreat experiences in my life over and over again. It has allowed me to wander back through my thoughts to times and places where there was something pleasant. It has opened a lot of doors for me in regards to relationships. A great way to start a conversation is to ask someone, "Do you remember when.....?" It shows common ground right away and that the event/person was important to you. Having a good memory is a huge blessing.
Today I am thankful for the gift of a good memory.
