I try to avoid songs that bring back many memories. Not due to bad memories, but because for so long the memories have been better than the present.
Music is like a time machine, isn't it? I can usually remember things in great detail, just from hearing a song. Some stayed buried for a while, but no problem listening to them now.
Sometimes we feel defeated. But I personally always find it comforting to remember that we're children of the King!... we're joint heirs with Christ
Thanks Ugly. You had me thinking about this, and God gave me this scripture tonight

2 Cor 4:16-18:
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For
the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal"
