Look Back and Move Forward

You can look back, think back, laugh back, and talk back; but you can never go back. I had a great weekend at the wedding of a childhood friend. The following day there was a neighborhood celebration. It was good seeing people that I played "Hide and Seek" with now with children too old to play those types of games. The graying, balding, weight spreading, limping and hopping were evident signs that what we remember from those three streets are simply that, memories. The wedding was dramatically Christ centered. So many of us have made and are making comments about our personal faith. God is so good to us. Through all the twists and turns of life it seems in one way or another we have grabbed hold of what matters most. I hope we keep enjoying stories and photos of the past, while we get all we can out of the here and now. May the grace of God through Jesus Christ be the fountain we constantly draw from. Work it out!
