LEAVE THE PAST Are you ever disturbed by memories? Wouldn't it be nice to simply click the delete key and erase the pain while leaving only happy recollections? I like the story of the minister who passed along to a beginning pastor a trick he used when he noticed the congregation nodding off. "I suddenly say to them, 'Last night I held another man's wife in my arms.' And, when everyone sits up shocked, I continue, 'It was my own dear mother.'" The young preacher liked it and was ready the following Sunday when most of his congregation was drowsing. He said in a loud voice, "You know, last night I held another man's wife in my arms." Stunned, the congregation sat bolt upright and stared. Unnerved, the young preacher stammered, "Oh dear -- I've forgotten who she was." Have you ever wanted to take back an embarrassing moment, a hasty decision, or a word spoken in the heat of anger? The problem is, some things can't be taken back! Some hurts cannot be undone. And unfortunately, no delete key can correct the past so that memories no longer hurt, frighten or humiliate. The past is what it is -- past. And that, too, is good to remember. It is past. Over. Finished. There is no taking it back, yet no purpose is served in re-living and rehashing old memories. It is gone. Let it be a teacher. Let us learn from its harsh lessons as well as its joys. Then let us leave it where it belongs -- in the past. Today ... can you put the past in the past?
