Well I Think I'm Going Out Of My Mind

Yesterday, someone I love very much stated emphatically that she was going to be tested for Alzheimer's. She said she serious too!! I, being the nosy friend I am, ask what brought this on? She replied "I forgot to bring in food for the Ladies Bible Study...yet, I was the one who sent out the reminders to everyone!". I'm just standing there watching her in a near panic and just sort of shook my head... Really???! Because of that?? She then goes on to list several other things she has forgotten. I would have LOVED to have agreed with her, after all, she believed she presented a great case of evidence. However, all I could do was simply shake my head, place a half smirk on my face and launch into what I've done. Isn't that what true friends do? I start off with driving my car through my garage, then I go into looking for my cellphone while I'm talking on it..., and finishing off with trying to put my shoes on while I'm still wearing my house slippers!! I leave out all the times I've gone into a room only to realize I've forgotten what I'm looking for; showing up at doctor appointments on the wrong days...leaving books, purses, and people behind. Once I was in Chicago with Clay (he wanted to tour the city) for my annual review and thinking it was the next day, Clay and I are getting ready for the art museums when all of a sudden my phone rings and it's my boss called asking where I was! Not to mention all the meetings I missed, etc. I mean this has been going on since I've been in my 40's!! So, I've come to realize that when I'm rushed, or not really focusing...these things seem to happen more frequently. Also, when I get excited...watch out!! Haha. So, I humbly realize I'm pretty messed up, yet it doesn't matter because God thinks I'm perfect. I'm also learning the He will use whatever He wants to humble me. Now, I do crossword puzzles and pray for the Lord to help me remember the important things, like ... Love hopes all things, believes all things and endures all things....yet, I'm going to be humbled anyway He sees fit. Sisters, let's comfort each other and learn to laugh at our mess ups, our goofs. Let's grow old together and wait on Him who made us... After all, there was only one perfect man who ever walked this earth...
