“FORGETTING

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 729

April 2, 2025///

Help me not feel so bad about the fact that I forgot to do MeMaw Thoughts this morning. I had to be reminded!

So, think about what you have forgotten in the last week. Where was something? Who were you supposed to call? Or maybe where you were supposed to be!

Have you ever forgotten a family member’s birthday?

Or this one that happens to all of us: someone’s name!

Some of the things we forget are not so important, some will change our life, (like a job interview)! But all are frustrating and some are embarrassing!

As we grow older, we may forget more easily or if we have a lot on our minds we can forget!

But the most life effecting thing to forget is prayer and Bible reading and meditating on what the Word says!

Do we remember that the most important part of our day is when we give time to praise our creator and bring our day and our ways before Him?

If we forget this, it changes our life in the worst way! We cannot hope to do as much, as good, or as quickly, when we leave off the most important thing in our lives!

Trying to navigate life by ourselves is the hardest place we can find! But a day given to the Lord Jesus to honor and show His love to others is a life worth living!

But the good news is, God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior knows where we are and never forgets us! Even if we have not given Him our day, if we call on Him at anytime of the day or night, He hears and He is with us!

May we look at a couple of the many scriptures in the word that bear this out!

Hebrews 13:5 (KJV)

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV)

 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Call Him, remember Him, never forget He is with you and will lead you in everything you do.

What comfort to know when we forget something important, those who love us forgive and love us anyway!

God loves us more than we can imagine and when we call on Him, He is forgiving that we have forgotten to spend time with Him for three days in a row or longer! He is there and He listen to our prayers even if it just “HELP”!

Just imagine your child forgetting his or her lunch or lunch money! Forgetting to give you a note from the teacher or forgetting to walk the dog or brush his or her teeth!

We could name hundreds of forgetful things about our children, and we may be concerned, but we will take the lunch or lunch money to the school, go to the school and talk to the teacher concerning the note we did not get on time, and begin to remind him or her to walk the dog or brush their teeth!

The point is they are still our child, and we love them forgetfulness and all!

You are God’s child, and He loves you, but He waits lovingly for you to take time to just fellowship and talk to Him and learn from His Word!

Psalm 73:28 (KJV)

But it is good for me to draw near to God:

I have put my trust in the Lord God,

That I may declare all thy works.

Don’t forget the most important, life-changing time you can spend!

Don’t forget who knows you best and loves you most!

Father, forgive us when we forget you. May each of us understand that you want to be part of every second of every day! Help us to show you our Love by spending time in your presence and letting you show us your Love! In Jesus name I pray! Amen!
