Remembering

As we go into Memorial Day Weekend, a day when people remember those who lost their lives fighting for our country as well as those families members who have died, it causes us all to stop and remember. In Scripture, many times the word "remember" is used. As the Israelites move from one journey to the next, they are challenged to remember the faithfulness of God despite their current situation. Similarly, we need to remember as well.

Here are few things to remember:

• Remember how God has provided for you financially this year
• Remember how God has provided answers to the difficult situations or decisions
• Remember how God has answered prayers over the last year
• Remember God's faithfulness despite our doubts or worries
• Remember how God has kept us healthy or brought us through health concerns
• Remember where you were spiritually at the beginning of the year--have you grown?
• Remember the blessing of family and friends
• Remember those unexpected or unplanned blessings along the way
• Remember things you have learned
• Remember unconditional love you experienced
• Remember how God brought healing physically, emotionally, or spiritually
• REMEMBER
