A group of talented musicians turned in a dazzling performance of a beloved song at a historic venue.

Material possessions, through natural wear and tear, break down and decompose. They do not last forever. Everything has a shelf life and an expiration date. However, memories and lasting impressions stick with us much longer than anything that can be purchased or bought in a store. 

Brothers of the Heart, a band of supremely gifted and skilled musicians, sang “Precious Memories” at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. As the song’s title implies, the track is about those priceless items that have absolutely no shelf life and don’t expire: memories.

In the video posted on YouTube, the guys sing about reflecting upon dear memories from years past. They mention how, over the years, these special memories from their younger years have come to mean so much to them. 

The song, based on lyrics in the second verse, appears to be about dealing with the loss of a dearly beloved parent and cherishing those moments with them. The second verse mentions a “precious father,” a “loving mother” and “old home scenes of my childhood.”

None of us know how much longer  the good Lord will permit us to remain on earth. However, as the song points out, the time spent with loved ones and the memories created in the process are precious. 

Nothing will ever replace a father, a mother, a brother, a sister or a dear friend when they depart this earth. That’s why those memories and moments with them are so, so valuable. We all have a limited amount of time. It's best to spend that invaluable asset wisely. 

Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things.”
