There's a song I've been thinking of...the song is in Spanish. It talks about this guy's life and how he wishes he could turn back the hands of the clock and start all over again. He got messed up in alcohol and everything else and just wishes he could turn back the clock. In the end he is saved and looks back on his wasted life and wishes that he would have listened...way back then.
I stayed up late last night because one of our visitors needed clean clothes. I told him I would wash them and dry them in our dryer...the kitchen table with a ceiling fan over it on high to dry. While I was waiting for the washer to get done, I was messing around on Facebook. Somehow I deleted my original account and LOST EVERYTHING! Ohhhhh...how I was wishing I could turn back the hands of the clock! I fiddled around a little more to try to retrieve it and I couldn't. I was helpless! I couldn't find the way to get back what I lost! How sad!
But, you know, it was only FACEBOOK! It was only something...could I say...silly?
What happens when we make bigger mistakes? Mistakes that leave scars on our hearts... Memories that we cannot erase... Reactions or attitudes that ruin REAL friendships... Decisions that destroy... Then, we REALLY want to turn back the hands of the clock, but it's too late. The moment is gone, and what's done is done.
I'm starting over. I checked my clock. I can't go back in time. I've gotta keep on going.
And, well, I'm starting over with Facebook today...hahaha...do you want to be my friend?

Yes! I DO want to be your friend!
And in life there is forgiveness and new beginnings and grace and I don't want to turn back the clock but to move on to bigger and better things.
