How is Your Memory?

Tuesday 5.09.17

Major Ruth took our meeting today, and she asked us if we had any funny memories to share, one or two of the ladies shared with us, and there was fun and laughter at the things they remembered. Major then gave us all a word search to do, the main theme of which was memories, i.e., Queens Coronation, marriage, etc. She talked about how our memory isn’t always good, and how we forget things especially as we get older. Even basic things, simple things, like locking the door, switching off lights. She then handed us all an envelope with reminders written on it, and as we opened them there were 6 objects in with a sheet of paper explaining what each object was to remind you off, and a scripture verse to go with it.

Blue Tac

This was to remind us to stick with it, and to remember that we can accomplish His will because it is God who gives us the strength to do so.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Candle

To remind us that He is our light and we are to share His light with others.

Psalm 18:28

For You will light my lamp;
The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

Toothpick

To remind us to pick out the good qualities in others.

Philippians 2:3

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

Rubber Band

To remind us to be flexible, things might not always go the way we want.

Romans 8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Pencil

To remind us to list our blessings every day.

Ephesians 1:3

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.

Band Aid

To remind us to be there for those who are hurting. And to do all we can to help ease their pain be it spiritual, emotional or physical.

Colossians 3:12-14

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
