I cannot have a picture of the three of us in one setting…absolutely not gonna happen…
I cannot have a burnt orange convertible beetle bug…I can so picture it though…and my wide smile…
I cannot wake up from a perfect night’s sleep and have a fresh out of the oven french croissant in Paris…
I cannot go to dinner with “my girls” and have a perfect glass of wine with a fresh plate of pasta in Italy…
I cannot have a do over at the early stages of motherhood…with my three adult children…
I cannot have a wedding night as pure as the white freshly fallen snow…
I cannot have any part of my youth back nor my beautiful brown locs…
I cannot hold his hand as our eyes would speak without rarely using words…
I cannot have a second career as a professional therapist or deeply concerned “not in it for the money” counselor…
I cannot have … exhale…. Abba You so know the rest…
But what I can have is a sure and secure salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ…the One who bled and died and was resurrected for all of mankind…
I can have 100% confidence in His finished work on the cross that my sins are forgiven, and that there is no future wrath for all who believe…
And looking over the “cannots” I’ll take the latter over anything offered to me both mentioned here and unspoken…
