Praise, Prayer & Worship Wednesday Thanksgiving: We give thanks to you this day O God that One so mighty, high and lifted up, One so awesome in holiness, One so glorious with the brightness of your splendour—would deign to think of us, care about our lives and stoop to rescue us from eternal damnation, and […]
The following is an intro to a previous post, which I’d like to draw to the attention of new followers in particular. However, those who have faithfully followed me from around 2016 when this post was originally written, may also wish to read and refresh their memories. Whilst I am happy to re-purpose old material, […]
I’ve ‘known’ Shell Vera for a number of years now as a fellow-blogger and recall her being one of the very first to engage with me in a meaningful manner, regarding one of my posts. As a newbie blogger, I appreciated this so much. To date, Shell Vera is still a regular reader and commenter […]
I realise this is the season of Lent and whether or not you have jumped on board with the whole denying-self routine, here are a few things I’d like you to consider, as part of your journey as a victorious overcomer. How about denying yourself the “luxury” of thinking about yourself in negative terms? How […]

I wish, Carol! Other than with my eating, I have a lot of learning about discipline. But I’ve learned throughout my life that the things I thought I would regret one day actually helped me become who I am today (think: teen pregnancy, divorce, lifestyle choices) so I no longer regret but instead learn from anything I do that may not have been my best choice. Discipline would prevent me from making those type decisions, though sometimes it isn’t even about that. Sometimes we go left when going right would avoid a traffic jam. Instead of regretting, we can ask the Lord, “What can I learn while I am here?”

I like that Shell Vera. Thanks for elaborating and continuing the conversation. I need to take a leaf from your book and instead of regretting what I’ve done, or failed to do, move on and learn from my experiences.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me this helpful and enlightening comment.
