What are some things you wish you would have saved in life? Of course, everyone has a past experience; some had a terrible experience, while others enjoyed their past to the fullest. Whatever it is that you experienced in the past, you most likely have some things you wish you have saved in life. Mind you it’s not all about money. In fact, those who saved enough money have one or two things they wish they have saved other than money. In your own case, what are those things? Here are a couple of them…

However, before we note them down, let’s quickly see the reasons why you need to save some things for the future, and why they are important.

Saving something for the future is one of the best ways to keep memories alive and fresh. It is the best legacy anyone can leave behind even for centuries. This type of memory is very important as it brings back past events when you finally see those things in your time capsule. Fortunately, you can save anything you like in your time capsule and keep it for many years. I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t want to rack your brain to remember the good old days.

Your exciting moments

There’s nothing better than saving your exciting moment in a time capsule. These moments could be your first day in the high school, colleges, or university. The rate at which technology is influencing our lives makes it practically impossible to remember those exciting moment just the way it was. Saving those exciting moments would be the best gift to yourself and generation to come. It will not only remind you of past events, but makes you feel happy even when you are in critical condition.

Did you remember the first letter that you received from your hubby? Keeping such letter in a secured place is a good way to tell how much you appreciate him or her.

Your vacation events 

Think about the first time you had the opportunity to meet and talk with people of different races, are you likely to come meet them again in the near future? What about the hilarious jokes and funny tradition you both shared together? Probably these are some of the things you wish you have saved in life. A time capsule for such event is worth more than a million, as it tells the story to generations to come.

Your Promises and vows

What about the vows and promises you made during your wedding anniversary? Did you remember the name you intend to give your first daughter? It’s funny, right? You would want to remember all that happened during your wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, the brain cannot hold everything. Hence, you need a time capsule to keep your promises and vows.

Have you promised to get something done before you reach a certain age? You may never remember all what you have promised to do until you find them in your time capsule. This tells you exactly what your past thinking was like and what you ought to have achieved at a particular time.

Keeping such memories is important and would remind you of many things that happened in the past days.

So, what are some things you wish you would have saved throughout your childhood, teenage, or adult life? Save them in a time capsule like the ones in the photo above. Get your time capsule today here. Comment below.

There I was, sitting at my desk, feeling nervous about what to write.  I had never done something like this before, but I felt compelled to proceed.  You see, I had to get more information.  I had to know.  I needed to see what this was all about.  I began to type.  I began to get more than nervous. I began to get worried, and scared.  What if she didn’t respond?  What if she did!?  “What if  . . . What if . . . What if.”  My mind was filled with possibilities, wonder, and intrigue.  I am having some of those same feelings right now.  Let me explain.

What Not To Do

Eleven and a half years ago, as I experienced those feelings, I was sitting in my office getting ready to send an email to my wife for the first time.  I didn’t even know this person, but somehow I was worried about how she would respond to my email.  I was a divorced man who had a passion to help kids in need, so I had become a foster parent.  My father was worried that I would never find a wife because of this, but I didn’t care.  I needed to pursue this passion.  On one particular afternoon, my adolescent foster child and I sat in my office laughing and cracking jokes about the people that were on a dating website.  A few hours later, I realized that this was not something that I should have done, and I needed to delete the profile that I had created.  As I began the process of deleting this profile, the website required me to remove all the notifications they had sent me for potential mates.  As I scrolled through these notifications, I saw an interesting screen name –FaithfulGodChaser.

The Profile: 

Meeting someone online can be exciting and scary at the same time. As I read this woman’s profile, I was intrigued.  Her profile was a beautiful expression of who she was and pointed people to her faith in God.  As a Christian, I found this greatly appealing.  Her profile stated that she had a God sent Checklist for her future mate.  I really wanted to see what this Checklist looked like.  Was this all about hair, eyes and height?  Or was this more about being a non-smoking, non-drinking man who does not beat on his spouse?  I really wanted to know.

The Scary Truth

So, there I sat in my office, trying to start an email to a woman that I had never met.  I wanted to be truthful and honest, but didn’t want to scare her away from the reality that is me.  I told her a little about my life, my problems, and my dreams.  I didn’t know how she would respond, but I decided I had to find out.  I had to meet the person that was this bold in her faith.

I Clicked Send

I finished my email, and I pressed send.  I knew that I was leaving to visit family in just two days.  Would she contact me?  Would I hear back before I left?  Would I hear back at all?  Would she open a conversation with me?  The waiting began.  Each day seemed like an eternity.  I checked my email often and every time there was no reply, a small part of me wondered if I would ever get one.
