I'm pulling from the archives and sharing one of my very first guest posts over at LifeNotes...
Several
years ago, I blew it as a mom on Thanksgiving morning. All my daughter wanted
was for me to watch the Thanksgiving Day parade with her, but I had other
things to get done, and the parade was not on my agenda.
With a huffy and
unpleasant attitude, I joined her in front of the TV. Her bouncy excitement
immediately turned to silence while she sat by herself on the couch. I realized
how I had squashed her enthusiasm, and all I wanted to do was shout “Do over!”
Remember
do overs? As a kid, my friends and I would yell “do over!” anytime we wanted to
start a game over or redo our turn. Anyone could shout “do over!” and get a new
beginning.
That’s
what I wanted—a do over!
Wouldn’t
it be nice if we could get do overs in life?
In Christ,
Laura
