Forgetting to Remember People?

Hi it’s me and NCR here again. I recently did an episode about forgetting and remembering.

Today I want to talk especially about forgetting and remembering people. People. We need People. It’s important that we remember people. But do we find it easy to forget them?

When we are experiencing the warmth of summer it can be easy for us to forget that there are others experiencing the cold of winter. I am currently living in Texas with my family. Most of time is is warm here. But today is a really cold day. It is like 9℉, or colder. And because it rarely gets cold here, we are so not prepared for it. We don’t even have homes with a good heating system. And we don’t have any winter clothing like big jackets or snow boots.

Anyway, in this time of cold. Me, my family, our neighbors and anyone else in north east Texas, we could just think about ourselves and how to keep ourselves warm. But for me personally, this cold reminded me of an email I got a few weeks ago about poor people freezing in Vancouver.

It is good for us to remember other people. We need to remember people who are suffering. We need to remember and think about people who are suffering when life is easy for us. But that is not all we should do. More than just remembering and thinking about people who are suffering, we need to reach out and help. Our thoughts should lead to actions.

Have you ever read a story about someone who started at the bottom then made it to the top? And forgot about everyone that helped them along the way and only thought about themselves. We might not be at the very top yet. But that doesn’t mean we can’t be like that. Nor does that mean that we should be like that. We should not think only of ourselves. We need to think about others and be thankful to the people who help us.

When is the last time you told someone thank you?

Well, that is it for today. I hope you enjoyed reading, and I hope this gave you something to think about.

Once again let’s turn that around:

Remember to Remember people.

Updated: I know I just published this. But since this morning I thought about my neighbors. It just as easy to forget about them as it is for us to forget about people half way around the world.

Who is your neighbor?
