Remember His Goodness: Why I blog

Remember His Goodness | Desiring God  (Click here)

“God knows that we are forgetful. So he gives us memorials.”

 I often review past blogs as memorials to God's goodness toward me.

I am sharing the above Blog by somebody else because I could not have worded it any better.

I have often read through out the Psalms and often wonder to the fact that I am reminded over and over again of God's goodness to the children of Israel and they still did not seem to get it.  And sometimes, I don't get it either as I go through painful reminders and begin to grumble too.
I have often had to remind myself of the following suggestions from E.B. Pusey, a 19th century church leader.  (These guide lines have been a part of my life since the 90's and keep in my study Bible as a reminder).
I say they are guidelines as I fail often and have to remind myself of them.

Steps to Contentment Allow thyself to complain of nothing, not even of the weather. Never picture thyself under any circumstances in which thou art not. Never compare thine own lot with that of another. Never allow thyself to dwell on the wish that this or that had been, or were, otherwise than it was, or is. God Almighty loves thee better and more wisely than thou dost thyself. Never dwell on the morrow. Remember that it is God's, not thine. The heaviest part of sorrow often is to look forward to it.
