Remember, so you do not forget.
Remember our Holy God; do not forget the Sabbath day of rest.
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.” ~Exodus 20:8 WEB
Remember the widows and orphans, do not forget the hurting.
[Remember] “Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.” ~James 1:27 WEB
Remember the persecuted, do not forget our brothers and sisters living in hard places.
“Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.” ~Hebrews 13:3 NASB
Remember to share the life we have, do not forget those who haven’t heard the Good News.
[Remember] “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” ~Matthew 28:29-20 NASB

I remember a teacher in high school telling me not to say, “Don’t forget to…” She said it was better to say, “Remember to…” It puts it in a different memory bank of your brain. I love how you told us to remember 🙂
Positive is uplifting and negative is draining, so I think it affects our mood and our memory, Allie.
A bumper sticker that I read:
“Do unto others, and then split”
really did mess up my head
for I embraced the whole of it
until I was the one ’twas done to,
and that really wasn’t fun,
leaving me nowhere to run to
except (oh, CRAP!) the Holy One
in whose great and divine eye
I’d just stuck a finger,
and I wondered, my, oh, my,
do I dare to linger
here before His great white throne,
and then He said, “Dude, welcome home!”
Another one for the books, Andrew! I have a word document of all your poems from FMF (since I joined last year).
Lisa, wow… I am so honoured.

A good reminder of things to remember.

Thank you, Sandra!
Positive language rather than negative – remember to instead of don’t forget to – this resonates so much with me as a retired Early Years Practitioner
Just stopped by from FMF #34
Positive language makes such a difference, Heather! (I apologize for the delayed response, I went out-of-town)
