Restoring Relationships After You’ve Blown It

As parents, two words haunt us more than any others: “If only . . .” We say them with slumped shoulders and deep frowns. “If only I hadn’t said that . . . If only I hadn’t done this . . . If only I had been more gracious . . . If only I could turn back the clock.” But we can’t turn back the clock. However, that doesn’t mean that we have to live with remorse or regret for the rest of our lives. God provides a way for our relationships to be restored.
