Auld Lang Syne

I am always taken aback by the song we sing " Auld Lang Syne", which one of the verses states " Should old acquaintances be forgot and never brought to mind..."  Why should we forget who God has brought to us in the past years of our life? Doesn't it give God glory when we can look back on those times of learning and turn away from the times that have brought us down and respond appropriately to those in the past who have let us down? Personally, I hope i never forget my old acquaintances, they are a part of the person I am today.....
Happy New Year!
