I Forget & I Can’t Forget

A Felon to Follower Short

I forget…..The constant clawing needs of the present make me forget those years I woke up on a 3 inch mattress, unenthusiastically waiting to start the new year off with that prison delicacy of hot dogs and chips. Followed by an afternoon sitting in a hard plastic chair watching college football on a 28 inch tv, mounted high on a wall forty feet away.

My memory fails me and I forget…..

Yet God remembers and reminds me, to ensure I won’t miss out on living with gratitude. 

I can’t forget….. My doubts as I sat in the darkness, my impatience when I was called to wait, my unbelief in moments of promise, and my insolence when answers weren’t to my liking. They hang in front of me, indelible reminders of my failings and how far I have to go. 

Then God forgets and shows me how love works.

Thank you for your support and may God bless you in 2024!
