Is there hope for the future of each of us? Of course. We live. We learn and as Yogi Berra pronounced “It ain’t over till it’s over.”

Therefore, may I ask you to do yourself a favor?

Open a bag!

That’s right, your bag of memories…and start pulling them out…your first kiss, your first curse, your first pledge of allegiance, your first real bout with immorality, your first theft, your first prayer and the list goes on and on and already you have said, “But….”

Ah, but you have stopped…you have pulled out a memory that has set your heart to beating like a thousand drums gone mad. Your eyes are on fire.

It is an old hate and you shudder at the realization that it is still alive and that there is still such passion in it.

You were hurt and you have not forgotten and you have not forgiven and it is an open wound that bleeds and festers and makes you ill and has made you ill and will continue to hurt your health if you do not destroy this hate.

And you are frantically searching for another memory. You do not like what it is doing to you, this memory of hateful moment. You want to do something about it but again you don’t want to do something about it. Will you come back and with your hand in the hand of the Lord do something about it? Time will tell.

You have found it…and this is a good memory. It is your child and all the memories of all the raising you have done and how blessed you have been even when you have been wrong sometimes in the raising…for you have loved this child and they know it and knew it and things are good as they should be. And if they are not…the power of forgiveness always stands ready to overcome.

And the memory of the day you confirmed your faith.

Your first love.
Your first …

And as good and bad memories come forth a phrase escapes from your memory,
”Be patient, neither libertines nor saints are made suddenly.”

Is there hope? St. Francis of Assisi wrote, “Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”

Memories? Memories remind us mistakes were made. It does not mean we have to continue to make them. It does not mean we have to like or be proud of all of them, It does mean that we are granted the great and glorious privilege of learning from them.
2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
