Remember…
As I walked by, I noticed it was blinking.
Three missed calls.
With excitement I looked down to see who…might…be….
Jonah.
It was my youngest.
He called at 5:42….and 5:44…..and….well…..5:45.
Persistent little booger he is!!!
I have told him repeatedly, “Just call once; I’ll notice one call just as quickly as I’ll notice seventeen.”
The funny thing is, he was asking me if I could pick him up from church at 9:00, like I have done every Wednesday night of this entire school year.
We have this conversation every Wednesday between 5:00 and 6:00.
This is always followed by, “Are you sure? Is it OK? It’s not too late is it?”
Consistently and without fail I give him the same answer.
“Jonah! There is no place I would rather you be. You know that. Why do you ask me every time?”
“I don’t know.”
And he doesn’t know.
But we all have things like that. Things we know to be consistent and true, but we don’t allow ourselves to remember them.
Jogging works.
Lifting works.
Eating clean works.
Gym buddies make the best buddies.
Yet there are days we let ourselves forget these things.
So, I will remember to pick Jonah up every Wednesday at 9:00 and you remember what you need to remember!
