Good morning Col Burroughs. I have a personal tale of exactly this situation.
I was doing a teen workshop with about 8 kids in it and one looked familiar to me. We were working our way through a series of stress managment techniques and one of the kids (the one who looked familar) said: I learned this breathing technique a while ago at some camp and it works; let me show you. And she did and the rest of the kids thought it was great. I realized she had been in my group at the camp; she remembered the tool I taught but not me. It was clear she was usuing it and she knew it well enough to teach it; that was the important part.

I expect that you have a faily good ability to remember the names of people who are important to you and those important to those closest to you. No doubt you realize that the LORD has blessed you with the dwelling of the Holy Spirit with your soul. The Holy Spirit brings to our remembrance what is essential. The only mentions of remember in the Bible are that God remembers our cumulative sin no more, the LORD admonishes us to show hospitality to strangers, remember those who are in prison, and those who are mistreated [Hebrews 13:2-3] Charlie.
I pray that you and I show hospitality to strangers, remember those who are in prison, the widows, widowers, and orphans, and those who are mistreated, my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
LORD I lift YOUR adopted sons and daughters who have challenges to remember important things to YOU including those with head injuries, psychiatric disorders, and mental injuries including TBI and PTSD to YOU. I pray that YOU bless each one with peace and a great ability rest and sleep. I pray YOU motivate well-trained and compassionate people to help each of those with significant challenges to remember.
I pray LORD that YOU convict each of the benighted and corrupt protesters, looters and rioters who are rampaging and focused on destroying rather than helping. Bring confusion amidst these fools and remind each one of their ancestors who would probably be embarrassed and angry at their behavior.
I pray that radical Muslims and other terrorist group members remember the face of each one they are responsible for killing, raping and or maiming. Let each one see the faces whenever they close their eyes. I pray that YOU save as many of these terrorists as YOU are willing
Thank YOU, LORD for sanctification as dwelling with the soul of each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters and reminding us of the Word of God and helping us to apply it in our lives, dear LORD.
Thank you, LORD for YOUR Word on YOUR memory.
a. “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.” [Hebrews 8:10-12 ESV]
b. "Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me. "These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.' [John 14: 24-26 ESV]
c. "Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.' [Hebrews 13: 2-3 ESV]
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Thursday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

The first time my great granddaughter said to me, “Papa, I sure do love you” my heart melted. Those were the sweetest words I had ever heard. She was three at the time.

Good morning Mikel! I love the topic. One doesn't need recognition in life to be remembered. To be remembered is enough.

COL Mikel J. Burroughs
Good "Thursday" Morning David from the "Eagle's Nest" here in warm Castle Rock, CO (74 degrees already) and headed for the high 80's, low 90's. Love your quote and you're aboslutely right - we don't need recognition, it's what we do and who we help that will be remembered brother. Let me leave you with this final thought for today SGT (Join to see):
"May everyone "Remember You" for your leadership, your kind heart, your helping hand, your giving soul, and abundant generosity in this lifetime and into the future; may you always continue to be very positive and resilient no matter the circumstances; and may you take good care of yourself and your family by staying strong, safe, and healthy! They will "Remember You!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
