How beautiful it is for us to get so closer to the celebrity for this year.
Well I think that for anyone to say that the topic for today doesn't concern him or her, it means is a lie. As long as one is still alive then it happens once on a while. That is to some one who doesn't experience it all the time. But for me it has become almost like a normal thing. There was this time last four years when I discovered that it happens all the time for me, I was worried because I thought of when I will be very old how it will be.
Why so forgetful?
This was actually my own question. I did not even know the right person or place to ask the question, but it has always been on my mind because I so forget and hardly remember. But the more I ask the question, the more I get used to the problem. I started learning how to manage it so that it will not cause more problem for me because I have disappointed so many people who thought that I was going to deliver one or two messages given to me, but I failed. I had to apologize to most of them seen that they were hurt.
What happened?
Though it has happened again and again, but for this particular one even me I was disappointed with myself.
My husband has an appointment with some people to go and preach in there church and I was asked to inform him about it. Normally the have a program for the whole year and all the ministers who will handle one thing or the other will be informed before hand so that the person will get prepared so the set day. So, for this year I was informed to tell my husband that he has something to do for them in a particular month and that he should inform them Incase he will not be chanced so that they church can replace him with another minister. I agreed to tell him and told the church that my husband will get back to them. I went home and forgot about it. This was sopposed to get to him two months before the set date. But I never told him about it. The church waited for a response and did not get any so they assumed that he was going to take the ministration for that day. The space was reserved for him without his knowledge. I myself also forgot that I was asked to inform him. The day was drawing closer and my husband has not yet known what was waiting for him. The worse part of it is that the people felt so relaxed that they never cared to call him and ask or even to remind him about it.
The D day came and there was trouble for me.
This was a day I can't forget at all. The church gathered and was praying waiting for the man of God to come over and preach to them. But they became concerned when they waited for thirty minutes and the church leader decided to give my husband a call. To his shock my husband was not aware of anything like that. They told him that I was asked to tell him about it few months back. My husband was disappointed at me and the church was also disappointed at me. I didn't know how to enter the ground that day. I was so ashamed of myself that day that I took a decision that is standing up till today.
My decision
I don't take messages any more to tell anyone. If anyone gets to me and tell me to help deliver a message to some one I will tell such person to do it by himself. I will plainly tell that person that I might forget it and is better he or she delivers the message himself. By so doing I have been able to free myself from any shame that arise as a result of forgetfulness. And for myself I decided to be written down things that I know I may forget. And sometimes too when I remember anything that I need to do, I will quickly do it immediately to avoid me forgetting it again.
In summary, I have been managing myself like that and reduced embarrassment for myself or even anyone. I don't actually blame myself for anything because I didn't create myself. The only thing I did was to know myself and work or improve on myself. Today I am happier. Happy Christmas in advance.
