I often think about the paths I chosen in my life. I did not always choose the right path and I certainly did not always choose the easy path but they are the paths I have gone down. I wonder, if I had it to do all over again would I choose the same way? If I changed my choices, what would my life be like now? Of course, the one path I wish I had not chosen was the path that did not follow God for many years. I would change that if I could. Now all I can do is make up for those years on the wrong path. Other changes? If I could go back I would change not getting see my Grandma before she passed away. Others? I really don't think so. Oh there are those times when I say I wish I had never _____ or I wish I could change_____. However, I really don't think I would.
As I write this I think about those who live in the past. Obviously, it is not healthy to do this but don't we all at times. Dwelling on the past cannot help me in the future. But briefly looking at the past and learning from it can. I know there are times when I seem stuck in the past. But more often I look into the past for remembrance and learning.
God has given me the power of choice. I pray I make the right choices and look to today and the future.
