Life’s Waypoints
At all of life’s waypoints, it is important to look back on where we have been with celebration. The blessings that accompanies the immediate past should be cause for thanksgiving. Even if the experience was rough and frustrating, God had a reason for it. He tells us in the scriptures that, if we belong to Him, ALL things that happen are ultimately for our good. A leg of our journey that was unpleasant may have been to qualify or prepare us for the next leg. We should learn from it, celebrate it, and thank God for it anyway. The Bible tells us to be joyful when we face hardships because it develops us and makes us stronger. Once the past has been acknowledged, learned from, and celebrated, let it go. Don’t dwell on it. You have a new en route leg to concentrate on.
