Triumphant Victorious Reminders

Triumphant Victorious Reminders Inspired by the Holy Spirit Written by: Teresa Criswell We were so young.  My sisters and I playing so freely in the park, while the brand new, large Minolta camcorder was in dad's hand, and mom by his side.  This particular memory is so vivid as I so happily remember dad declaring, "Girls, you will look back at this 20 years from now and appreciate this."  All the while, we were just having fun!

I look at it this way, "Have I documented in writing every moment of my own life?"  Of course not. Do I journal?  Yes, I journal, but in my journaling they are only glimpses of my life, not the wholeness thereof.
