Since I've taken this whole month to celebrate my birthday I've been terrible about reading my Bible. Today I was supposed to do a post about the book of Deuteronomy. This morning I flipped through the pages and this verse caught my attention:

"Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them fade from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them." (Deuteronomy 4:9)

The main reason I write this blog is because I don't ever want to forget what God does in my life and I want to get it down on paper. Among the many health issues our family seems to have, Alzheimers is among them. (You think about these things when you are my age.) I'm very worried (I know, you are thinking I need to trust God, which is true). If I do get it though, I hope someone will pick up my blog books and read them to me. I guess it really doesn't matter if I forget the little things, but I don't want to forget what God and I have been through together. Whenever anything good happens I ALWAYS want to give God the credit He deserves.

I want more than anything for my children to give Him the glory too and it's my responsibility to help them remember. (I had to remind my daughter just this morning!) Lord, forgive me for the times I fail miserably in this area. I thank You that You are always with us through the good days and the not-so-good days. Thank you for showing me so many miracles. You alone give me Peace.

This week I don't want to forget the memory of my precious niece worshiping God from her knees with her hands held high through tears. She was totally surrendering and she inspired me more than she will ever know. It was priceless.



I know I've posted this song before, but it's worth hearing again. Let it give you Peace and help you remember what He has done and continues to do in your life.
