How much time do we spend regretting things that happened in the past? It may be an embarrassing experience which we re-live, blushing as we did=when it happened. It may be a feeling of shame when we feel we have let ourselves or other people down. It may be an occasion which did not work out as we hoped and left us feeling disappointed.

There is nothing to be gained from re-living unpleasant experiences. Yes, we can vow never to do that again, but then we should move on, put the past behind us and look forward to new opportunities. For whatever our situation there will always be opportunities to enjoy life and fulfil our potential.

May God help us to face forward and seek the delight each day brings.
