Remember....(part 1)

Remember....
It is a simple word. In itself it can aptly stand alone without supporting clauses, clinging adverbs, self focused subjects or even proud nouns.

Remember....
To some it forms the foundation of who they are. Generations before speak quietly from behind the veil of the past to remind them...to remind them.

Remember....
How well do we build upon that foundation? Do we raise a structure firmly attached to that foundation? or do we allow the corrosive breeze of time wear down our foundation...to the point that that which remains is dust?

Remember....
And what of that Cornerstone? To what can we square our foundations to if the Cornerstone has been eliminated from the building process? Can we as individuals stand strong without The Cornerstone? Can marriages and, thus, families endure the buffetings thrust upon them without The Cornerstone? What about our communities, our cities, and, thus, our nation survive without The Cornerstone?

Remember...
It was Paul to the Ephesians who said:
   
                  Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the   saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone.(Ephesians 2:19,20)


Do you remember?
