Borrowing a passage from the book A River Runs Through It, Sister Virginia H. Pearce creates a metaphor to illustrate the purposes and benefits of remembering. "Remember is an important word," she says. "I believe that remembering is a holy word." Sister Pearce speaks of remembering as a means of increasing our faith and faith of loved ones, building positive feelings about our friends and family members, affirming God's power and goodness, and growing in the gospel and in our relationship with the Lord. She explains a simple, three-question formula that lends perspective to life's events and experiences and helps us to learn eternal truths from them. She suggests keeping 'learning logs' and writing as ways to enrich our live through the power of remembering.
