How do you not REMEMBER someone
who is no longer here,
because they sacrificed their life to
fight for our country
and are no longer here?
How do you UNMEMORY someone
in your life who is no longer here because they have
moved to their permanent home with THE LORD.
We can't UNREMEMBER.
We can't UNMEMORY.
Because we can't UNFORGET
WHO has happened
because the WHO has happened.
Because a MEMORY is like an arrow
it pierces your heart
with a great SADNESS because their presence is so missed,
yet also with a great JOY when you REMEMBER the precious MEMORIES
that you have shared with the loved one who you so miss.
And a MEMORY is like an arrow that stays in your heart
because you never will let them go
even though they are no longer here,
yet you have PRESSED FORWARD in life
without them
day by day
moment by moment
only because
JESUS has enabled you to PRESS FORWARD
beyond the grief, the lose, the pain of the hurt
by piercing your heart
with
HIS STRENGTH to keep going when you don't want to
and with
HIS COMPASSION as HE feels your every emotion
because HE has experienced every emotion for HIMSELF
and
GOD
NEVER UNREMEMBERS any one of HIS children
because you & I & those who have gone home before us
are more than just a MEMORY to GOD.
So on this day of MEMORY
let's not never forget those who have lost their lives for fighting for a greater cause
and let's never FORGET
the ONE who LOST HIS LIFE for HIS greater cause~
and that is you & me my friend
the moment we make
JESUS OUR ONLY OPTION
so that HE never FORGETS us
and we never FORGET HIM~
"Praise the LORD, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s" (Psalm 103:2-5)
So here is to all of ours who are more than a MEMORY
as they are and will always be~
"UNFORGETTABLE" (listen to the song below)
