Remember Your Creator

The writer of Ecclesiastes said, “Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come (Eccl. 12:1).” Yesterday we celebrated our granddaughter’s fifteenth birthday. Someone said, “Grand kids are God’s reward for not killing your teenagers.” I’m not sure about that, but I am sure that our lives have been rewarded a hundred times over by our loving granddaughter. Actively involved at her Christian school and faithful to all her church’s youth activities, Whitney consistently remembers her Creator in the days of her youth. Most of the readers of this Monday Morning Memo know that “difficult days” do come and one way to cope with them is by remembering the Creator’s guidance in the past. This might be a good week to thankfully remember your Creator for His past leadership in your life and for assurance of ongoing divine direction.
