Your history, is in the ministry?

I keep begging everyone to please write down your history and what you remember about your life. It's not for you that I asked these things, but for your descendants that will come after you. That may never know you that I ask that you do this. Believe me they will want to know who you are and what you were.
 I was watching some of the Glen Campbell special where his daughter was talking to Congress and was telling them, that one day his memory of her will be gone. I wanted to reach out and hug her because I feel her pain, but I also wanted to ask her what she really knew of her father's history. Even though her father is a famous man, I am sure there are some things about his history that she will now never know.
I hope that at least some of you will try to write the important things down, but I want you to understand that it's not just the important things. It's what you loved and what you enjoy doing. It's your first kiss, your first girlfriend or boyfriend and how hard was it for you to ask that certain person out on your very first date. It's how you felt when you look at your baby for the very first time. You see it's not really up to us to pick the memories that will be with us at the end of the day, because we don't get to choose them.

So for the sake of you and your descendants again, I am begging you and pleading with you if you are unable to write them down, please ask a member of your family to help you somehow. I never want to see any of our history disappear because we mattered. No matter how little a difference it was, we made a difference in this world. God put you here for a reason; don't let that reason be forgotten.
