preserving family history (family stories) NOW

I just read a beautiful article about family history.  Maybe you don't think of yourself as a family historian, maybe you don't research ancestors, but preserving photos and memories (you could call them the stories behind the photos) really is family history.  

It's the story of your family now.  The history in progress.

As I've mentioned before, when children connect with their family, they feel a sense of belonging and purpose.  Connections like these are very good for the hearts and souls of both children and adults.

This article is a must-read.  It will give you some perspective on memory-keeping or scrapbooking, with inspiring gems like this:

• Our stories bind together the past and present, give a glimpse of the soul, and help our children master the art of listening. What Children Gain When You Open Up
• Bruce Feiler, author of The Secrets of Happy Families, asserts that “knowing more about family history is the single biggest predictor of a child’s emotional well-being.”
