As our seasons of life advance, our memories may go into a slippery slide. Thankfully, God doesn't have that problem! He knows all things from before the beginning of time to the no-end of it.
THANKS FOR
THE MEMORY

It's incredible what I’ve
forgotten
though when I did it
said it, saw it, wrote
it, heard it
all was fresh and plain
and clear
and I never had a fear
that I wouldn't recall it at will.
Some thingsI’d rather forget:
unpleasantries and
failures
hurts to me and mine
and the pain I've given
others
my sins, open or secret
but displayed plainly and etched indelibly
saved in the storage disks of my mind.
MAJESTIC MASTER OF ALL
SYSTEMS
IN HEAVEN AND EARTH,
ALMIGHTY GOD:
You are far beyond my Word Processor
that conveniently and
without error
will electronically recall ALL
that I program into it:
whether good or bad, trivial
or trash
glittering gems of
eloquence
but also spelling typos
untruths and gibberish.
O DIVINE WORD PROCESSOR
GOD:
I esteem and appreciate
the compassion, love,
and mercy
of Your awesome memory process
to remember no more my transgressions
placed under the Cross.
Bless You for their loss
for eternity
in the depths of the sea
of cyberspace
removed from Your monitor screen
as far as can be
as the East is from the
West!
Undeserving and unworthy
I bow in gratitude
to Your infallible memory
to remember forever
to record perfectly and reward in eternity
my deeds done and words
spoken
in Jesus' name:
cups of cold water given
visits to the sick and
the prisoner
an inn and care provided
for a battered one
the perfume of my praise
lavishly spilled to
anoint Your feet—
MY THANKS FOR YOUR
MEMORY!
