All the experiences of the past, good and bad, can help us focus on the now. Because of the past, we can deal much better with the present. Those multiple situations that life threw at us hopefully balanced us for the present. I wonder if that is why Matt Dillion never married Miss Kitty, just thinking.
Now we need to introduce something that can better prepare us for tomorrow. When it comes to learning lessons, there is nothing like the Scriptures.
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Think about that, Chester.
