OK... This week in Kid's Church we'll be talking about MEMORY LAPSES! In Finding Nemo, Dory has, as she describes it, "short term memory loss". But when the time arises for her to remember what's on the mask, she does it! Amazing! She keeps repeating it over and over again... P. Sherman, 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney! Yeah for Dory!
There have been a few things over the years that I've forgotten. Important things, like...
1. Paying my bills
2. Eating right
3. Telling the people that I love that I love them.
4. Pumping the gas after paying for it.
5. The stroller outside the car at the Mall when we were leaving to go home.
6. The pizza on top of the car.
7. Changing my underwear.
The list could go on and on and on...
Psalm 105 verse 5 says, "Remember the wonderful things He has done..." Oh... yeah... note to self. Remember the wonderful things that God has done. Not always easy. It's often because we're too busy. Or too lazy. Or too mad at Him. But when we take the time to remember... it's always encouraging.
I'm sure Jonah was remembering inside the belly of the big fish. He was praying and remembering better days. Days with sunshine. Days with fresh air. Days without stomach acid burning his skin off. OUCH! I certainly hope it doesn't take something like that for me to stop long enough to remember how great God is!
OK people! That's it for now! Remember!! NO MEMORY LAPSES WHEN IT COMES TO REMEMBERING HOW GREAT GOD IS!!!

Thanks PJ...I needed to hear this today.

Hey...I have been there for some of those memory lapses :)
Thanks for the reminder, Dad! God has done more for us than we deserve in just sending his son to die on the cross of our sins - and then there are all the other things he does for us daily! We are a truly blessed people!
Sarah: Yes you have! LOL! Someday you'll have an abundance of "memory lapse" stories of your own! And I'll enjoy hearing every one of them! Love you!
