Do you have any regrets?

Actually, not all that long ago, when I became a Christian, I read a text that said in so many words, 'Don't come to Me for forgiveness before you ask others you've wronged' (that's a poor paraphrase, but you get my drift)
So.....I did that
Had some niggling regrets
Deep down
These are Christian folks, of whom I'd treated with disdain and pretty much abused their kindness and graciousness...many years ago. Affecting many people. For a very long time.
Heh, they all forgave me with open arms...pretty much ran to meet me before I could utter a word
There were many tears
Tears of joy
Both sides


I hope to forward that action one day
It's my prayer
 

Complete life is a regret. Somehow along the way society tries to convince us that life is worth living. The church tells us taking one's life is a spiritual sin. Society enforces laws against self orchestrated death and dying.
I not attracted to life and it's a rotten shame I have to wait for something natural to occur. I am venting and I am not stupid I am disgruntled.

@squatting dog "One was not seeing or hearing my daughters cry for help. :cry:" I am so very sorry you live with whatever this is for you and I pray God will comfort you and bring you to a place of true peace.

@Gary O' A hug from a sister in Christ. I have no doubt you will indeed be able to pass that forward - life always provides the opportunity.

My own one regret is not entering one of our armed forces, having been advised not to by my then church leader. I so wish I hadn't listened and had gone ahead with my plan. It was the only thing I ever wanted to do with my life. I don't dwell on it, as in I don't allow it to bring me down or anything, but when someone reminds me I do still feel a deep pang so know I regret it.
 
One regret is that I wasted time with people who would later become inconsequential in my life. My other regret is that I didn't spend more quality time with my father, who passed away in 2000.

No other regrets. Even with the mistakes I've made, I have a good life. Our mistakes make us who we are, and if we learn from them we become better people. I would rather not look back on different decisions that I could have made and just accept that they added to my life experience.
 
Whenever I start ruminating about the past I think about going through the sausage grinder of life and coming out of the other end, still in one piece. It's borderline miraculous! :ROFLMAO:

These are by far the best days of my life, so while I have some regrets, I know that dwelling on them does me no good, whatsoever. The present is where contentment resides.
 

Do you have any regrets?​


Non whatsoever!!
Well, maybe, on just a few thousand occasions, if I'd just have taken a moment to think things through before doing them, I wouldn't be as dozy as I am now. 😊
