day 24. “i made a mistake”/Our Lost Jungle

                                                Even Pencils have Erasers

I am human, therefore, fallible. Not only am I capable of mistakes, I make mistakes, I made mistakes, I will make more mistakes. It isn’t reasonable to expect not to make mistakes. Do I have regrets? A few but mostly I would still do again what I’ve done. The regrets aren’t for the life I’ve lived but for not being kinder, more forgiving, more loving – including to myself. I like to think I’ve done my best but truth is truth and sometimes I was lazy, fearful, and immature… and often made excuses. But, my husband loves me, my kids call me, and my grandkids think I’m great. What more can I ask?

  1. Debi, I love the progression of "I make mistakes, I made mistakes, I will make more mistakes." Something about stating it that way feels just right, like a life lesson in English class. ;)

    I am a pencil thankful for her eraser, too. And thankful for a God of second chances. :)
