Love Remembers

I've been listening to a lot of Craig Morgan recently. That's not surprising since Mark and I recently attended one of his concerts. Many of his songs can truly resonate with me. One in particular is Love Remembers.

As I reach middle age, I'm experiencing a problem with my memory. Sometimes, when I'm speaking, I can't even remember the words I need to finish the sentence I started. How frustrating is that? As a Christian, I know the importance of having memorized Bible verses available to defend against temptation, depression and simply, the world. Unfortunately, my brain is not wanting to memorize these verses that I want to bolster my aresenal of spiritual defenses. Many times I have to rely on the overall theme of the many Bible verses I have read. I hold onto those themes I've read over and over. Jesus made that easy for us when he simply stated, "Love God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself". Great, if we do that, we're on the right track.

And, thankfully, I do remember the first verse I did memorize when attending Herrington Methodist Church in Bourbon County when I was really young. That one is one of the best, John 3:16. It has to be the most amazing verse there is. "For God so loved the world, He gave his only begotten son, for whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." I'm so thankful that it is there imbedded in my mind. I am constantly amazed at His love for us.

Well, I'm going to try to remember what all I need to do today. I am thankful for the beautiful sunshine streaming through my windows, even though it does illuminate all the little pawprints on them. I am thankful for the four little white doggies that made them as well.

I hope you remember to have a great day and remember the One that gives us everything worthy of our thanks. Have a great day, luv, Susan
