What to remember and what to forget

There are things in our lives worth remembering. I could sit and list a billion but will only mention a couple. Trish and my first date is a memory that I pray I never forget. I remember seeing her that first date and knowing that she was the one that I would marry. It took a while to convince her but I eventually convinced her that I was as good as it gets (don't tell her any different). I quite the wooer.

I also pray that I never forget some of the blessings of everyday life with our kids. They are wickedly funny, sometimes trying, but always a blessing. They have provided many laughs thus far and I expect many more to come. Family is huge too. I know how we can all fuss and argue, we are family, but I also know what family is all about.

In honor of St. Patrick's day, today's word is an Irish saying: "May you never forget what is worth remembering nor ever remember what is best forgotten."

Of course, I always want to remember my salvation, the day I asked GOD for forgiveness and committed my life to Him. The gift of salvation through JESUS CHRIST is the greatest gift of all. I always want to remember that I am His, a child of the King. I want to remember that I represent my LORD wherever I go and whatever I do.

Then, there are those things that are not worth remembering, yet, we seem to never forget them or let them go. The old hurts, the jealousies, the grudges, the misunderstandings. These are all things that have happened, we felt them, they affected us, they helped make us resilient and strong. But, if we allow them to fester and continue to affect us they will fester and steal from the joys we have been blessed with. So, today and every day, let's focus on what to remember and what to forget.

Be Blessed,
