Accepting Failure

This is the second year I MISSED the requisite Thanksgiving blog and I’m just going to be okay with that.

Sometimes I make myself crazier than I am with this self-imposed regulations:

Thou SHALL blog on major holidays

Thou SHALL blog a minimum of twice per week

Thou SHALL be funny and thought-provoking — preferably at the same time

Thou SHALL NOT covet another person’s blog

Thou SHALL NOT make spelling or grammar errors

Thou SHALL respond to EVERY SINGLE person who comments on your blog

And I have broken every single one of these.  It’s a wonder anyone ever comes back here, isn’t it?

But I’m still here.  Hope you’ll come back around again.  I’ll be honest with you, I’ll mess up again and again, but I’ll get back up and try.

This is just like my relationship with Christ.  I mess up time and time again, but I get up, dust off and start again.  I’m so glad that I live under His amazing grace.

    And how thankful we are that Jesus forgave us through his death and resurrection!

    That’s a lot of Thou Shalls and Thou Shall Nots. Remember, Mary, we live in FREEDOM.

    You are a special lady. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

    Blessings~

    Darlin’ Pie. I’m here with you. On the same page…did the same thing. Life’s just full. That’s all I can say.

    It’s okay…we are thankful and we gave thanks and reminded everyone we saw of all the blessings we have and daily partake of. WHETHER they wanted to HEAR IT OR NOT! That’s my motto!

    I love you to pieces! You are awesome in my book…and I wanna know what’s God up to in your life?

    Love you!!!!

    Thou Shalt forget the Thou Shalts and have a donut.

    I think there should be eleven commandments, don’t you?

    Living under grace, not the Shall Nots. :) You are HIS. Covered completely.

    Relate to this post.

    Love you, friend.

    We’re reading Jennifer Rothschild’s “Self Talk, Soul Talk” with our Bible study…thanks for the reminder that I am behind on my reading. Oh, yeah, there goes that self talking again… :)
