on Remembering
For my younger readers and
my readers who think they have not experienced some of this,
this is prophecy for you, your time is coming:
It is really frustrating to find things exactly where they are supposed to be after spending far to much time looking for them.
It is frustrating to be looking for something and
then forget what you are looking for. But, worse,
It is supremely frustrating to go look for something and
when I get to where I am going, I have
forgotten why it is
I am where I am.
Then
The frustration continues when
I return to where I started and then
remember the reason I had left!
It is frustrating
to see someone I have not seen for a long time, and
they call me by name,
they recall something about our mutual past,
and I still do not have a clue as to who they are.
It is frustrating to have forgotten simple things
that you know you once knew.
It is frustrating to think I remember something, but
not be really sure what exactly it is
I am trying to remember.
Why is it, that I lose something,
cannot remember where I put it, and
when I finally find it,
THEN remember that is where I put it.
Memories are great
if you can remember that you have them.
Sometimes in my frustration about remembering,
I think I have forgotten more than I have ever known.
Other times, ....... I think I am sure of it.
I am real good at remembering faces, and
Oh, I am the best at remembering names......
but the problem is
I often cannot do it at the same time.
Finally, it is frustrating
that I have experienced all of this and
worse, it is so frustrating that
I can remember that I have experienced all of this!
If some of these do not seem possible, just think about
what you have to look forward to.
Hmmmm.... This writing once was much longer until I read it enough to see that I had repeated myself several times.
I hope I have not published all of this in a past writing.
BUT,
one thing I know for sure,
and I pray that
in my last breath on this earth,
I still remember and pray:
Jesus loves me,
This I KNOW, for
The Bible Tells me So.
The thing about faith is
we do not have to remember,
Through our prayers,
God builds our faith in our hearts
We just have to remember and practice
Trusting Him.
Thanks be to God,
lonnie

Here are a few thoughts about remembering. If you do not remember that these have happened to you then you can read about what you have to look forward to, or to remember. If you are over 5 years old, you should remember that some of this has happened to you, maybe,..... remember.

This is great Lonnie. There's so dag gone much truth to it that it's funny, really funny. I especially love the last few lines !!

The issue is that there is too much truth in it.... I think, if I remember everything correctly.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to remember what you said. :-)
ReplyDeleteDe, just think, if you do not remember it, you get to experience again for the first time.... until after you have experienced it you remember it is not something new. Three great things about a bad memory, dementia, and a few other memory related problems.... YOu meet new people every day, and you only have to buy one DVD! Oh.. the third........ .................. .............................. .......... ............I forgot.
