Where are my...(fill in the blank)?
Okay, I’ve finally learned to put my car/home/office keys in the SAME place when I get home. But I still haven’t learned to remember where I left my glasses or my latest crossword puzzle or the flyer about a concert I now think I missed or that needed phone number I jotted down on a piece of paper – and I have a LOT of pieces of paper sitting around. Yes, I am one of those people. But that litany of “forgets” got me thinking about the important things I forget about until I really need them – like prayer, quiet time, reading something challenging instead of easy, actually calling my elderly cousin instead of saying, “I should really call Ruth,” and never doing it, working through a situation instead of avoiding it. I challenge myself this week – and you – to take action, one small action, to overcome this very human weakness of losing, forgetting, neglecting something that we know is really important. Is this easy? Is there a shortcut I can take? I’m afraid not. But if we truly want to grow in faith, in self-understanding, in compassion and generosity, we have to do some work, and not forget where we put our commitment.
