Memory. Let’s face it that many of us have a
hard time remembering certain things, particularly as we get older. If you’re
like me you may rely heavily on post-it notes stuck on the door so that you
remember to get or do certain things before you walk out the house in the
morning. Or, maybe a note stuck on a mirror somewhere? Or, perhaps you may stick
a note on your steering wheel so that you remember a stop you need to make
while you’re out and about for the day. If you’re in your 20s or just never do
this, you may laugh at this but your day is coming! No, I’m kidding. J Not too long ago I used to hear about people who
stuck notes around their homes so that they could remember to do important
things and I’d laugh. Now I’m like the post-it note queen! Ha ha ha! If someone
gifts me with post-its it’s almost like receiving Bath and Body Works (that’s a
well known line of scented body care products for those who don’t know). For my
birthday one year I had a boss who along with some other things gave me a pack
of multicolor post-it notes in the shape of a butterfly (she knows my love of
butterflies). I treasure the idea someone came up with for this idea of notes
with a sticky backing! Okay…so enough about the sticky notes. How’s your memory
when it comes to things you NEED to remember to retain your job? How are you
doing in the area of your relationships due to your ability to remember even
the smallest things? Has your memory caused you to lose some opportunities? We
all fall short sometimes in our ability to recall things but if we suffered a
chronic problem with recalling things that would pose some serious problems.
The brain is so very
complex and I believe one of the most extraordinary things we could have ever
been given. Even with all the medicines that the medical profession has
discovered, no one has come up with a 100% way to combat memory loss. It doesn’t
matter your IQ, your level of wisdom, where you think you fall on the level of
brain power in comparison to others. If your
brain was to ever shut down you would not have the power to do anything about
it. So, take this thought and be grateful to God for the mercy and grace that
He gives you every morning and throughout your day to remember everything that
you NEED to remember to function in your day. And if you have to rely on some
post-it notes for some things (ha ha!) be thankful that you can even REMEMBER
to give yourself a note! J
