Sermon
The Gift of Memory
Memory is a potent thing. Memory can call me back to days long gone by, can summon back in to life people who have long since died. I open up the book of my memories and out comes Christmas dinner with my grandparents—my grandfather holding the carving set looking over a crown roast of pork, my grandmother holding court at table. Turning further back I find my first day walking to preschool, or baby sitters making me noodles for lunch, calico and tabby cats slinking through the house.
