Showers of Blessings\u00a0 Day 23
\nBlessing: Names Recorded in God\u2019s Book of Remembrance<\/u>
\nThen those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them;
\nSo a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name.\u00a0 Malachi 3:16 NKJV<\/em><\/p>\n

Message:
\nAs we speak to one another and meditate on the LORD\u2019s name He hears us and makes remembrance of us.
\nNot only are our names written in God\u2019s Book of Life, but they are also written in His Book of Remembrance.\u00a0\u00a0 That\u2019s one of the blessings of those who fear the LORD.<\/p>\n

When I graduated from 8th<\/sup> grade (which was a long time ago) it was a practice at that time to have Autograph Books. My sister gave me one as a Graduation Present.
\nIt was about the size of a postcard, filled with blank pages and had a cover that was brown faux leather.\u00a0 Its purpose was to collect autographs of those you knew, family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances, and\/or of any celebrity\u2019s you might meet. Mine not only has autographs, but also well wishes, poems and cute sayings from those who wrote in it.
\nI still have it and it brings back so many memories of those who autographed it as many of them have now passed on.
\nHow much more special must God\u2019s Book of Remembrance be!\u00a0 And every day we can add to it as we fear Him and meditate on His Name.\u00a0 Such a blessing!
