Save Your Own Moments

How can you turn an annual tradition into a treasured legacy?

Imagine capturing your Christmas/ New Year’s letter on video, recapping each year’s highlights.

Share it with friends and family who haven’t seen you in years and watch their reactions.

Consider this:

1. Preservation of Memories: Video recording family stories ensures that memories are captured in a vivid and lasting format, allowing future generations to experience the stories and personalities of their ancestors.

2. Emotional Connection: Watching family stories on video fosters a deeper emotional connection among family members as they relive shared experiences, laughter, and moments of joy captured on camera.

3. Multisensory Experience: Video recordings combine visuals, audio, and sometimes even music or narration, to create a rich and immersive storytelling experience.

4. Passing Down Wisdom: Family stories often contain valuable life lessons, cultural traditions, and family wisdom. Video recordings preserve these teachings for future generations to learn and cherish.

5. Celebration of Diversity: Family stories reflect the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives within a family. Video recordings celebrate this diversity and promote understanding and appreciation of different cultures, nationalities, and identities.

6. Legacy Building: By documenting family stories on video, individuals contribute to the building of their family’s legacy, ensuring their unique history and contributions to society are remembered and honored for years to come.

7. Missing persons: Whose story can you tell because they have passed on and are no longer here? They need YOU to set the record straight to preserve their memory.

What stories do you want your kids, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren to know about you and your time on God’s green earth? How will preserving your own moments enrich your family’s memories BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE?

“We don’t know who the people are in the photos, so we are throwing away the photos.” This quote came from a family to a nursing home administrator who found boxes of photos in the trash dumpsters and saw a lifetime of photos tossed out. IT WAS TOO LATE!
