Remember not our past sins; let your compassion be swift to meet us; for we have been brought very low (v. 8).
“Everyone complains of a lack of memory,” the American humorist Ken Hubbard wrote, “but nobody of a want of judgment.” Indeed a photographic memory is an envied ability—unless it enables you to remember something you want to be forgotten. You might wish for some things to be left in the past. Or feel haunted by the memory that “we have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and done those things which we ought not to have done,” as the traditional Prayer Book confession puts it. As you journey through Lent, reflect on what you carry with you, particularly the memory of sin. Ask for healing strength to carry on. You’ll be asked to repent and then to accept that God not only forgives us but forgets your sins, even if others do not. Then use God’s compassion for you as a blueprint for the way to forgive others.

Be still in My Presence, even though countless tasks clamor for your attention. Nothing is as important as spending time with Me. While you wait in My Presence, I do My best work within you: transforming you by the renewing of your mind. If you skimp on this time with Me, you may plunge headlong into the wrong activities, missing the richness of what I have planned for you.
Do not seek Me primarily for what I can give you. Remember that I, the Giver, am infinitely greater than any gift I might impart to you. Though I delight in blessing My children, I am deeply grieved when My blessings become idols in their hearts. Anything can be an idol if it distracts you from Me as your First Love. When I am the ultimate Desire of your heart, you are safe from the danger of idolatry. As you wait in My Presence, enjoy the greatest gift of all: Christ in you, the hope of Glory!
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
—Romans 12:2
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.
—Revelation 2:4
To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
—Colossians 1:27 – From Jesus Calling

Harlene, I wish I could send you some Vicks Cough Drops! Have you tried a hot toddy? I've had this last year and remember it very well. I would take some cough medicine, didn't work, sometimes Southern Comfort in hot water with honey helps. Or hot toddy with lemon juice and honey. Have you been to the doctor? Praying for you so you can stop coughing and have a good night's rest and a good day tomorrow. May Jesus heal you!

Harlene, Hope something worked for your cough last night, and you were able to get some sleep. Feel better! We did get snow last night, but I can't tell how much until I get outside, as we still had snow on the ground.
Gloria, I loved the story about the little girl in the accident. Sad, and uplifting at the same time. Glad you had a nice dinner with Lori.
Hello to all of our other posters and readers. I have no plans for today, other than getting some housework done. DH and friends are making kielbosi today, and I'm praying he doesn't fall with the snow. He's so unsteady on dry ground anyway, so this is a challenge he does not need. Have a great weekend everyone! pinky

Hi Pinky and Harlene! I liked that story too, Pinky, it's an old one I used for my list before, but always good to read again, Harlene, you take good care of yourself. Going to Mass tonight, and I'll be praying for you to sleep well, and take some hot toddy - can't hurt and it could help relieve your cough.
