REMEMBER WHEN

I will remember the works of

the LORD;  surely I will

remembesr Your wonders of old.

Psalm 77:11

Years ago, I used to hear older folks talk about how the older they had gotten, the shorter their memories.  That just didn't compute for me at the time.  However, I've come to look at things from a different angle now.  So many folks my age are often mistaken as having dimentia or some form of it.  Now I logically look at the things I have a problem remembering and can feel for those ladies in years gone by. When in my younger years, there just wasn't as much information stored in my memory as there is now with so much info to recall now.

When we get down to all the remembering we do, we often leave our Heavenly Father out.  We don't mean to because we have far more to remember about His love and provision than anyone elses.  We have spiritual things to remember, such as:  primary Sunday school, favorite pastors, day of our salvation, evening of baptistm, first Bible, church camp, and Chrisstian education.  

A little later came dating a godly man, marrying that godly man, privileged opportunities of serving the Lord using gifts He instilled in me for purpose, God's continued care and protection. These days, I remember my dear hubby who  is with Jesus and that God has provided for me to join along with a multitude of saints when He sees fit.  It's all a tribute to a wonderful and loving Heavenly Father. 

What would your spiritual memory list look like?  There's no way we can list every possible thing He's done and imprinted on our hearts, but as they come to recall, we should be a rejoicing people remembering God's goodness.  Let's choose to pause and remember how precious He's been and continues to be.

Father, You have poured the sweetest of things into my life through the years.  There have been the difficult things to remember but can remember how You brought me through them.  Thank You, Father, for the memories.  In Jesus name...Amen
