And that brings us to today when I was looking for some chocolate. No chocolate in our freezer, just a bright, red, frozen tomato. In fact, I dropped it on the floor....ya know...just to see what would happen....nothing! Just a ice thunk on the floor. So we played a little frozen tomato soccer and then tried to tempt the cats into playing with us.
The sad thing is that I don't just forget about tomatoes. The same night I left the tomato in the freezer I left chicken in the oven. I was baking some chicken to use for sandwiches later that week. Luckily, my roommate, who came home at 9:30-3 hours later-decided to make some food for a work party. She found the chicken and saved us all from a potentially fire-y death.
And then this morning, I woke up and I realized that I forgot I was supposed to play in a softball game the night before. GRRRRR....How does this happen?!
The sad thing is that I don't just forget about silly things. I forget about important things....like trusting God...and loving my friends and family well.....about knowing who I belong to.
I am grateful that God does not forget.
Lord, help me to remember....who you are....what you have done, that I might learn to trust you and love you more.
Psalm 105
1 Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name;
make known among the nations what he has done.
make known among the nations what he has done.
2 Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.
tell of all his wonderful acts.
3 Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
4 Look to the LORD and his strength;
seek his face always.
seek his face always.
5 Remember the wonders he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
6 O descendants of Abraham his servant,
O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 He is the LORD our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.
his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He remembers his covenant forever,
the word he commanded, for a thousand generations,
the word he commanded, for a thousand generations,

Thats interesting Trisha! Yeah, forgetful friend, how are you?
When I worked at the stock exchange a while ago because of the hectic hours we received dinner, one night I got to my car put my cool drink can on the roof to open the car and put my stuff in, I got in and drove off with the can on my roof! I got up about 3 floors of basement parking, up the ramp at the exit and as I got to the road the can eventually slipped off! Anyway, yeah easy to forget stuff, hmmm….. yeah the more important things as well do somehow get forgotten easily, especially now with Christmas around the corner it’s a good time to sort things out!
Oh, I’m gonna be in the US from 20 Dec -10 Jan, what are you up too for Christmas? Are you gonna be around TN at all? Or could I visit you?
