Looking back means you have decided to not go forward
For one second you decide to turn back to a time when something was not right or a decision was made that was not good
and you become a pillar of salt
Looking back means you are not enjoying what God has given you now to enjoy
and may cause you to miss the moments ahead which He plans for your pleasure
Looking back makes your neck strain but looking forward gives you clear sight and a relaxed frame
Children look only at now and enjoy the sunshine
Adults check the weather to see what is coming and let this beautiful day waste

I like to think I will not look back but my body and mind know differently
Me?I became a pillar of salt long ago
So gathering up what is left is not easy but God knows and has my life in His hands
He shapes and molds and gets me shaking again just like salt in a shaker
He grinds the salt if He has to and it may hurt but
in the end it is all for good

Looking ahead is His prescription for looking back
and may I only look back to remember His goodness and what He has taught me
in Jesus name amen
