So ‘British Summer Time’ has come to an end for this year, even if the glorious
summer we have enjoyed still lingers on, in fits and starts, between the rain clouds
and gales. The clocks and watches have all been duly put back one hour,
heralding ‘Autumn and Winter’, with long dark evenings and nights.
‘Putting back the
clock’ reminds
me that most
people wish they
could do just that
on occasions in
their lives. If only I
could have a
fresh start in life.
If only I could do
it again, and do it
differently. If only
I had worked and
tried harder. If only I had said “Yes”. If only I had said “No”, or kept quiet, or said
something else.. Why did I make that decision? Why did it happen to me?

If only ..... why? .... and so it goes on – regrets.
I gather it is a sign of old age when you spend more time looking backwards than
you do looking forward! I am beginning to find that is true! Reminiscing may be
the only thing some people look forward to!
Looking back at the ‘good old days’ can be quite interesting, enjoyable,
stimulating and instructive, provided it is not done in anger, for too long, or too
often.
Those who continually look back tend to bump into things in the present, causing
damage either to themselves or others. Not only that, they miss out on what is
happening today – now.
How encouraging it is for those who truly believe and follow Jesus, through thick
and thin, when He says, “I am the same yesterday, today and forever”. Hebrews
