Remember

Remembering is important.
Monday, we will celebrate Memorial Day. We will salute fallen soldiers, recount battles won and lost, fly flags and decorate graves. We will extol the special things that made each lost life memorable. We will remember.
God certainly knows the importance of remembering, urging His people throughout history to recount His countless acts of faithfulness to an unfaithful people through speeches, feasts and festivals. Jesus asked us to remember his sacrifice whenever we feast together in community.
God knows when we forget, we lose focus. Erasing earlier footprints impedes our progress. Ignoring our past hinders our future. But looking back sharpens our vision for what is ahead.
And so it is good to remember.
After nearly 50 years, Christian Homes & Family Services has more than a pocket full of memories. We remember those who ached for the fatherless and heard God’s call to care for them and dreamed of such a ministry. We remember early leaders and employees of the ministry who paved the way for its current direction. We remember young women choosing life and searching for hope and peace. We remember foster parents with open hearts and loving homes. We remember the desires of childless couples being granted. We remember prayer warriors and donors who have sustained us.
We remember and we are thankful. We look back to find the strength and hope and joy to look forward to create more memories.
Remembering is important.
