Memories:

My wife Linda and I played a spirited game of 500 Rummy tonight. (I won)..Afterwards as I was finishing drying dishes I had left earlier, My wife and I looked at our refrigerator..Probably over 100 magnets cover the front and side of the Fridge..Me being a guy, I sometimes wonder if its a bit much, but she loves it and that's what counts. We were talking about some of the magnets..each of them represent a sweet memory of our 16 years of marriage that is really precious to us..

Although its wonderful to remember the good things of the past, there are other things we ought to remember..If we are Christians we should remember where we've been, as Jesus tells the Church at Ephesus in Revelation 2:5..

"Remember therefore where thou art fallen".

We need to remember and realize how faulty we were (and are) as a sinner so we dont get too full of ourselves thinking we are "all that". If we go away from God, we need to again draw close to Him..

"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you."
James 4:8a


Another thing we ought to remember is the Goodness of God..Psalm 145:7 states

"They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness"

We need to realize how good the Lord Is when we go through a bad day or two..The way he meets our needs when we don't know how He does it..And just day by day things we take for granted. Health enough to go to work, Enough income to meet our needs physically..The way He brings us friends to encourage..He is a great and wonderful God..We need to put those things in remembrance above all else..
