For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps.
(1 Peter 2.21
NRSV)
The first said, "Sometimes I go to the refrigerator and forget what I need by the time I get there."
The second woman said, "When I go upstairs, I can't remember whether I'm going up for something or I'm on my way back down."
The third woman said, "I'm lucky, I guess (knocking on wood), I don't have that problem. Oh, there's someone at the door."
One of our older comedians says he can always find his car in a parking lot--it's the one with the lights on.
Memory is a tricky thing. There are some things, however, that we should never forget. One of these is the sacrifices that others have made in our behalf, so that we can be people of faith.
Lord Jesus, help me to always be mindful of your Saints who have helped me become your follower. Amen.
