   My word study:

1828 dictionary definition(s):
   
      Remember (zakar) - to bear or keep in mind; to think of and consider; to bear in mind with confidence; to trust in; to bear in mind with reverence; to keep as sacred; to observe.

My personal definition:

      Remember (zakar) - to bear in mind; to not lose; to find.

Zakar is the Hebrew word for think, mention,  and record.
  
       Alma 62: 49
But not withstanding their riches or their strength, or their prosperity, they were not lifted up in the pride of their eyes; neither were they SLOW TO REMEMBER THE LORD THEIR GOD; but they did humble themselves exceedingly before him.
      D&C 4:6
REMEMBER faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, brotherly kindness, godliness, charity, humility, diligence.
   
      Remembrance is like a light. It calls you time and time again out of the darkness.

    Ellie, I love your definition! 'to not lose; to find' I think that's a big part of remembering. Sometimes you have to find it to remember it. :) Thanks for sharing!

    I love this: "Remembrance is like a light. It calls you time and time again out of the darkness" - I like that imagery, it makes me think that remembrance goes hand in hand with repentance. It's seeing things as they really are for a moment and changing ourselves to align with that truth. Thanks for your great thoughts!
