Well the first day of summer has arrived - it is official! Summer is here. Summer always brings those nostaligic feelings of days gone by. As kids we use to get up early, run outside and stay there till it seemed the sun would drop out of the sky. What memories!
For a lot of people living in yesterday is a way of life. All they do is think of what has happened and they live in the past and still react to life based on those experiences. You must remember "there is no future in the past." I am thankful for all those experiences - they brought me to where I am today but I cant live my life thinking about all that. The Apostle Paul said that he had to forget those things that were behind him and he had to move forward so to speak. Pretty good stuff.
I have to face TODAY. I have to live in the NOW. I cant spend my time worrying about what could of been or "if only...." Life is full of things to work on right now. Jesus said HE promised to bring ABUNDANT LIFE! I think that is something I can have for today. So enjoy your summer but be ready for your TOMORROW - It is going to be good!
Have a great summer

Excellent thoughts, Pastor. In my Foster Parent classes they use a clock for abused children. They show children the time that has past (behind them) vs how much more time they have to look forward to by leaving the "lost" time behind them. Same thing you said, but in a different way.
Looking forward to a brighter future. Wilma
Great post. Looking forward to reading more.
