Forgetfulness...

Last night, wife has forgotten that she was in the middle of doing laundry! Thank God the manager has removed the time limit on doing laundries so we could finally get it done by 10:30ish PM... ;)

And this morning, my mind wasn't functioning properly too. I found out that I have absent mindedly put on my polo shirt inside out!!! Thank God I found out by myself soon enough... so I quickly went to the rest room to change it back! I guess today's clothing design does have a lot of 'inside out' looks so I'm sure nobody noticed... ;)

Today's scripture reading was about Uzziah. This king of Judah had been very faithful to the LORD, prosperous land... strong army... and even has developed some amazing defense related weaponaries...

And as soon as they get too successful, they tend to forget about God... Anyway, even King David had memory lapse, but at least David recalled God once more and repented. When he's wrong, he knows it and he make amends. Uzziah somehow got very stubborn in the end..., it's not like he was totally forgetful of God, but he just likes to do things his OWN way... such as burning inscense for God himself instead of relying on the priests... Yeah, doesn't seem like a serious sin..., but the bottomline is that he's just too full of himself to think properly anymore. If that kind of disrespectful attitude continues, committing other 'serious sins' for sure will soon follow...

So, yeah, I guess the moral of the story is that it's okay to forget about things. It happens, we're only human after all..., but the important thing is that once we remembered again, we better just get at it and make amends instead of just forgetting about it all together and insisting going on that wrong path!!! Yes Lord, help us remember..., and in case we do forget, help remind us! And give us hearts that is not too proud to repent of our forgetfulness... We don't usually "choose" to forget things, but as soon as we remember again, help us to 'choose' to do the right things. You are our Great Shepherd... and we love You so very very much! :)
