Five Things You Cannot Recover

I have been pondering some words of wisdom that a friend shared with me today.

There are 5 things you cannot recover in life:

The Stone...after it is thrown,
The Word...after it is said,
The Occasion...after it is missed,
The Time...after it is gone,
The Person...after they die.

I don't know where she got it from but it touched my thoughts today.
(I googled to try to find a credit but couldn't decipher the original author)
As I get older I think I am getting a handle on the last three,
but dear Lord, grant me the patience to learn the first two.

  3. I have a old fashioned cross stitch sampler that says something similar

    three things there are that will never come back : the arrow shot forth on its destined track, the appointed hour that could not wait and the helpful word that was spoken too late.

    Unfortunately no author noted either. all great words of wisdom though
