Forgetting

So I was furiously trying to get ready for my final final.  I've been teaching at DMACC this fall.  (Des Moines Area Community College).  I gave the final to my first class on Monday, and here it was Tuesday at 3:08 pm.  I would give my second final exam - the final final in 21 minutes, then Caitlin called (she was home sick from her job)

"You picked the kids up from school right?"

SILENCE....

P A N I C!!!!!!!!!

Race to the van, get the kids, and get back to DMACC two minutes before the final.....sheeeesh.

Yes I had forgotten my own flesh and blood, waiting for their faithful father to get them from school....yeah humanity is humbling.  Isaiah 49:15 says: 

 "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!"

So thankful for the MANY ways God is so different from me.
