Some of us are good at rehashing past events and conversations.  We go over and over them in our head in a kind of useless merry-go-round that ends up not being merry.  Listen!  If we could have fixed them up by rehashing them they would have been fixed a long time ago.  There is no redoing what has been done.  Leave it be!  Lay it down!  Move on!  Live today embracing your forgiveness in Christ.  If it broke you, live out your brokenness as a gift to lighten the load of a fellow traveler.  Breathe the air of the crushed bloom and thank God for the perfume that is released.

Father, thank You for how You teach us to build a better building on the rubble of what went before us.  Thank You for forgiving our past, empowering our present, and for giving us a future hope.
