The Gift of Story

If you could sit down with someone from history, what would you ask them?  I believe you would want to know their story.  If you could talk to the ancestor who left home and travelled to a new land, I think you would ask them to tell you that story.

Your story is just as priceless to your friends and family.  How will you capture and preserve your story for them?

Binder - you can add pages of any size.  A flexible way to save your writings, concert tickets, theater programs, pictures.

Blank Book - use it to jot down your ideas, write poetry, record your dreams, or express gratitude.

Artists Sketchbook - tell your story visually with your own drawings and paintings.

Photos - save them in a book, save them online, or make a slide show or a video of a baptism, vacation or birthday.  Be sure you write down who, what, when, where so others will know why you saved that picture.  It is sad to have a box of photos and not know who any of the people in them are.

Audio recording - maybe you are better at talking than writing.  Get a little digital recorder and start telling the story of your life.  A few minutes a day will add up to a beautifully preserved story.

Any way you choose to share the gift of story, you can be sure it will be priceless!

“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”
