Ponder This!

Now THAT is something to ponder 🙄.

I actually pray everyday that God will help me to think better and to erase bad memories stored on my hard drive.

I am not saying that I am full of regret, I am not. I take great comfort in scripture that states we are to forgive others endlessly as God forgives the repentant. Not only does He forgives us He FORGETS our transgressions. There are many more scriptures that say much the same... no wonder I love Him.

For peace of mind we must forgive each other. I was reminded this in a very personal way with-in the last month. Someone close to me told me of a transgression I was totally unaware of that took place many years ago. It was eating them up and I had no clue. Too bad they did not think of the scriptures I just mentioned. Real or imagined they should have taken it to God. It's there in print "forgive 70 X 7" and leave it up to Him. When we bring it to Him our transgressions are removed as far as the East is from the West.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Good morning Bob. When I saw your title I thought it was a post by the guru of pondering, Michael Jacobs, but wrong! Forgiveness is not my strong suit but I am working on it. Maybe I need to ponder more? Enjoy your day.

So much hate in the world. If everyone would just forgive those they do not agree with the world would be a better place.

Good morning Bob,

I like Wayne Martin thought this was a post from Michael Jacobs  with the title. Forgiving others and yourself is something that can be hard to do but what a relief that feeling can be.

Hello Bob "RealMan" Timm 

Important post. We are all works in progress but we are told to renew our minds,

Romans 12:2

"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
