Which Road Will You Choose?

Every day when we wake up, we have an opportunity to choose one of two roads to travel that day. One road is full of regrets of things we wish we had done differently. If we decide to go down this road, it will lead us to disappointment and discouragement. The other road is filled with hope and possibility.

You would think it would be easy to make the right choice. But it’s actually harder than you think. We all wish we could have a “do over.” There are words we wish we could take back. Decisions we made that we wish we could change.

But here’s the joy in knowing Jesus. Every day we get a fresh, new start. When we ask for His forgiveness, it’s like a blank page with nothing on it. And we get to write a brand new story for that day.

So, what will we put on that page? I think gratefulness is a great place to start. When I begin to count my blessings, my heart is full. First of all, there’s the joy of knowing Jesus.

I have been blessed with an incredible family. There’s food in the refrigerator, heat in my house, water to drink, hot water when we need it, and on and on. Without a doubt, I have been blessed beyond measure!

What about you? Is there anything you can be thankful for today? Every breath we breathe is a gift from God! There is no end to the goodness and greatness of our God.

So how about it? What road will you choose to go down today? Let’s make the choice to travel the one filled with hope and possibility, thanking and praising God for all he has done, is doing now, and will do in our future.
