I haven't been blogging for a while because I've been in the middle of a move. I am finally in the new home and out of the old one, but I still can't find a lot of things. Oh well, I'm sure I will find everything before the next move. LOL
The other night I was thinking how nice it is to finally get all of my possessions into a new home and start decorating the new home. Even though I hate moving, I like the fact that I get a fresh start. If I fell behind on coordinating the closets, organizing the cabinets or drawers or just let a few things go, I can always start over fresh in a new home.
It is the same in our every day lives. A lot of times we mess up our days by saying the wrong things, doing the wrong things, not doing what needs to be done, kicking the dog or whatever. God allows us the chance to start over fresh the next morning, as children we used to call it a "do-over". Perhaps it wasn't just a day that we messed up, perhaps it was a whole year. God lovingly provides us a new year to start fresh.
Everyone has bad things happen in their lives, the key is to not dwell on the bad things, ask for a do-over and start fresh. If you have a last name that has bad people or bad deeds tied to that name, determine to start over fresh and make your last name a good name. If you have a household that is not serving God, start today having family devotions, attending church regularly and living for God.
Maybe you have a broken relationship that you would really like to see repaired. Go to that person today, ask for forgiveness and repair that relationship.
Let's determine to remember that we are not doomed to live a life filled with mistakes. Let's ask God to forgive us where we have failed and ask Him to bless our fresh start. He truly is a God of do-overs!
