Good things of the past

So, today I was thinking about how most people only remember the good as time goes on about the past. At every waking moment, we are feeling at our strongest and the most that we can. It is what we do and how we feel that defines us. All the bad feelings that are happening in one moment, will consequently be gone the next. Now, we remember the previous moment, and that it hurt. But say one year from now, we see the happy moments; the moments we laughed at and the ones where we had the most joy. Most people base their decisions on what is happening now, and not then. If each moment is different, than was the bad we were feeling in the moment the right way to affect our decisions? Should it come from the good moments, the moments that we cherish and want to have memories of? Perhaps we should base our decisions, thoughts, and feelings on a series of past events. If you take the good and the bad, but tend to forget the bad, are you more apt to give someone another chance? Did God give us the sense to let some unhappy memories go so that we can forgive, or try to make things right again?
Just some thoughts~

I Promise

Those two words that we all long to hear although we may not think it at times. "I Promise" it seems with a promise everything is gonna be alright. Its the trust of the person saying them. A promise can give security, its a safety net of comfort. What about a broken promise? How do you heal from something like that? where does the trust go? What about the pain and hurt from it? Do some promises hurt more than others? How about when you're a kid and "i promise not to tell who you like", or what about when you're in love and " i promise not to break your heart?" there are many levels of pain we go through from other's words. They can give so much and take it all away again. Somethings can be promised such as " i promise not to tell" others like "i promise not to break your heart" cannot. Its intersting too. When a promise involves another person, you give them the power to break it, but trust that they don't. When you're young and everything seems to come easily with so many things, you make the promises that you know you will keep. I have to be honest, I've made so many promises, 95% i've kept. I've broken a few, but not on my own will. Like i said when a promise involves another person, it can't be 100%. People are forever changing, which includes their words. God will never break a promise to you. Think about it, He is not changing. God keeps His word. So follow in His likeness and don't make promises you can't keep.
