Leaving the City of Regret
I had not
planned on taking a trip this time of the year, yet I found myself
packing hurriedly. This trip was going to be unpleasant and I knew in
advance that no good would come of it. I’m talking about my annual Guilt
Trip. I got tickets to fly there on ‘Wish I Had’ airlines. It was an
extremely short flight. I got my baggage which I couldn’t check, I chose
to carry it myself all the way there. It was weighted with a thousand
memories of what might have been. No one greeted me as I entered the
terminal to the Regret City International Airport. As I checked into the
last resort hotel, I noticed they were hosting this years annual Pity
Party. Well I wasn’t going to miss that great social occasion, because
most citizens would be there. First, attending would be the ‘Done’
family. You know, Should’ve Done, Would’ve Done, and Could’ve done. Then
came the ‘I Had’ family. You know ole’ Wish I Had & his clan. And
then of course the Opportunities would be there, Missed Opportunities
and Lost Opportunities. But the biggest family of all was the
‘Yesterdays‘, there are far too many of them to count, but each one had a
sad story to tell. Then Shattered Dreams would surely make an
appearance and its their fault. Surely, Shattered Dreams would tell us
stories and excuses about how things failed in their life, saying they
shouldn’t be blamed and they couldn’t help it. To make a long story
short, I went to this party knowing there was no benefit in doing so.
If
your planning a trip to the City of Regret, cancel your reservations.
Instead take a trip to a new place, Starting Again. My neighbours there
have been very helpful to me. You dont have to carry baggage there, if
you make it there some day then look me up, I live on 'I Can Do It'
Street.
I just want to tell you thank you and that I realize that I don't have to look back over my past with regrets I know I can do it and that what you this morning and it was very powerful I had to look it up and take my time reading it and oh boy did it remind me of me and I will see you on I can do it Street in Jesus name amen
ReplyDeleteI just bought property on I can do it street. It's been a long time coming.
ReplyDeleteI really like your sermons and I wish I could get a copy of the city of regret.
ReplyDeleteI just sent in a comment my name is Thomas Miedl
DeleteYou that is so true. Why do we do that? Jesus and my heavenly Father don't remember my sins. I I shouldn't remind anyone else of there's. Forgive me Lord? Thanks for always directing us back to the light. My our Lord continue to bless you with good health. God bless you. Sara
