I've thought about what it would be like if I had made some of the decisions in my life differently. Haven't we all? Camping there though can be a tough thing. Thinking about all the "what if" moments can create feelings of regret, anger, resentment. We can even convince ourselves that if we just had done something else a certain way that we wouldn't be where we are. Let that sink in for a moment. See, because if that is the case then the good moments wouldn't have happened either. The friends, the family, the trips, the laughs, the journey, the faith filled moments wouldn't exist. When I look back on life and the times I sat alone contemplating the "whys" I don't regret the choices I made, anymore that is. Instead I make choices now to do the things I should do. That may be to reach out to an old friend, to make amends with someone, to forgive, to ask for forgiveness. It may be a realization that there was no real defining moments, just a series of moments that helped us define what we wanted life to be and a better understanding today of how it can actually be that way. Every choice has an outcome. Every outcome has an impact. We get to choose the kind of impact it has on us, and then, and only then, do we get to take those moments and redefine not what they could have been, but what they actually were. A lesson, an experience, a moment of gratitude, a guiding light, a new beginning… A blessing.
Believe in the Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you realize that there is no reason to regret when you have another day to do all the things that you simply want and have yet to do.
Have a blessed day everyone. Make it matter!
