Personally, I am pretty good at trivia games. Quickly remembering facts is pretty easy. But what about the car keys? Or remembering to pick up milk. What about people's names. Now there would be something handy to remember. There are days that I would trade being good at tivia if I could only remember why I came into this room.
I do remember asking my wife to marry me. Trying to come up with the perfect place, finally getting up the nerve when we were on a bike ride on Mackinac Island, stopping in the middle of the street and asking her then and there. I remember holding my son on the day he was born and feeding him in the hospital nursery.
Some things are hard to forget, no matter how hard we try. Like everyone else I remember the horror of 9/11 and being both stunned by the destruction and trying to wrap my head around it all. It was a day that changed every thing.
Some of the hardest things to forget are memories from times that we were really hurt. Sometimes we hold a grudge, even when we want to let it go. Even when we want to forgive, we can's forget.
God's forgiveness is different than man's. When God forgives, He does it with the perfect love that also forgets.

In 1 Corinthians Paul writes that Love keeps no record of wrongs. In our humanity that is hard to do. God however is able to do it perfectly,
