We ten-year-olds came speeding down the hill on that homemade sled. The sharp turn that we were to negotiate ended my trip, for I slid off the back, ripping the seat of my pants and long johns on the freshly cut bushes. I was exposing stuff that should never see the light of day and longing for Mom to make it alright. Those are things that can never be forgotten even after sixty-two years.
Speaking now of what shouldn’t be forgotten, consider these verses.
My son, do not forget My teaching, but let your heart keep My commandments,
Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of My mouth.
But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
Some things need to be remembered and some need to be forgotten. Give it some thought.
