Lockdown 733

Lockdown Day 733-29 March 2022
Today I learned to be grateful for mistakes. Even if they make me look like a dumb blonde. My thoughts inadvertently go to a little book I read many years ago, Prison to Praise, written by Merlin Carothers.

With gratitude in mind, I am reminded of a story of a pastor losing his 'sermon writing pen' he was sentimental over. After searching high and low (and probably also throwing a tantrum) he decided the only thing to do was praise God for the pen that was lost. I remember how it didn't make sense to me at first.

But later I realised to praise God for the bad things puts us in a mindset to look for the things to be grateful for. The really important stuff.

So tonight, while feeling sorry for myself, I look up to Jesus and thank Him for my klutzy mistake and the things I can learn from it. I am grateful toward Him for accepting me as I am, mistakes and all.
He's got me. And He gets me.
'Nuff said.
And He's got this, of course.

PS If you're interested in the movie, here it is๐Ÿ‘‡
