Remembering and Thanking God

Tweet

Sometimes we would rather forget the past and not deal with memories that are painful. Nevertheless, recollections of special events awaken our emotions, encourage us and make us joyful, giving us reasons to move on. Indeed, the past is a kaleidoscope of failures, victories, reunions, separations, birthdays, deaths, expectations met, and broken vows. But, while memories usually fade into our subconscious as the years pass, there is always a time to remember. For God's true servants, although there are disconcerting remembrances of the year that is about to end as they live in a troubled world, they have more reasons to rejoice - and to thank God.
