  1. Thanks for hosting. I agree with you. Many don’t. I am always told to forget the past by those around me because the way I grew up was pretty bad. So, I am told to forget it. But it is a part of who I am and will never leave me.

    1. I think we must forget the pain – in the sense that we put the painful things in our past into proper context, but it’s not practical for people to actually forget events that have happened to them. I think when Paul talked about “forgetting those things which are behind” he was referring to not allowing those things to weigh us down and hold us back from the purpose for which God created us. But when we forget the past we risk the danger of not allowing our past to impart wisdom for our present and future. God gave us a memory for a reason.

  2. Thank you for the party. I would love for you to link your posts to my party on Thursdays! Party at My Place begins at 6:00 a.m. EST.

  3. So thankful that God has given us the gift of memory “that we may learn thereby.”
    Thanks for your wise words today — and for your hospitality each week!

    1. Yes. I am thankful for that, too. I can be so hard on myself….and others at times. Remembering my past serves as a reminder to embrace grace.

  4. Thanks for hosting and have a blessed week! 🙂

  5. Could not agree with you more, Rosilin! In my Ruth study next week, we;ll see exactly what happens when we don’t remember what we are supposed to remember. Thanks for hsoting the linkup. You are a wonderful sister.

    1. Yes, exactly! The Bible is filled with examples of what happens when we fail to remember the past: both good and bad. Bot positive and negative.

  6. What a wonderful message today, Rosilind! Thank you. I needed to hear it. Thanks for hosting and hope you have an amazing week 🙂
