How do you remember things?
Perhaps a knot in the handkerchief, but if you're like me you may end up with lots of knots and not much handkerchief or else I'm struggling to remember just what it was that the knot was for!
Writing things down has all sorts of benefits. The very process of writing causes us to think more about what it is we are thinking about, and often just writing it down helps us to remember better.
Many people find it helpful to keep a journal – a place where you write down your thoughts, prayers and reflections on God's word and on life.
If you've never done it before, then why not try it today?
-Get a piece of paper and a pen, then read these words:
"How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path.
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path."
(Psalm 119:103-105)
-Think about the words, and write down your reflections.
You may find these questions helpful:
How do I feel about these words?
Are there any words which particularly encourage or challenge me?
What has happened in my life recently which I find relates to these words?
Is there something I think I should do as a result of reading these words?
