Going back to your hometown can bring back old memories. Ah, the can't-belive-we-made-it-out times, the critical-decision-making times, but best of all, just thinking back on the good times we had there. My husband and I got our 1st apartment together there, we bought our 1st house there, courted there, got married there... and not in that specific order, mind you;) I don't regret one little decision we made there, even our decisions to leave our home and make "the road" our home. And it really was great to go back. We got to see family and catch up with them. We also caught up in on some other stuff that is just a part of life, and I hate to see it happen. Different churches in the area have split apart, dimmed down, or just simply have run their members away. That just really stinks, doesn't it? Buh. No matter what happend, and no one may never REALLY know what when on, but it upsets me nevertheless. I hope in situations like this, the realization of what truly happened is there from all parties, whether who thinks they're right or wrong. This way, we can help things like this from happenning again. Whatever the case may be, when pride and arrogance is given up to prayer, we usually do find the answer. So don't regret the things in your life that have made you truly happy in the Lord, but do mend all things, no matter if you've regretted them or not.
"...Let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit; perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Make room...in your hearts. I do not speak to condemn you...Great is my confidence in you...For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation." 2 Corinthians 7
