Thankful Thursday

Sometimes we all have those moments of complete failures.

Those moments where we know we have failed.

Forgot to pick up an ingredient for a planned meal.

Burnt dinner.

Accidentally left laundry in the washer for over 24 hours.

Forgot to make an important call.

I could go on for days.

But it's in those mistakes that we learn.

Forgetting an ingredient means I have to get creative.

Think outside my comfort zone.

That although dinner is now going to be barely edible, that's ok.

I have a healthy husband who won't tell me how bad it is.

Even though I have to run those clothes again, that's ok.

I have other clothes I can wear until they are done.

Sometimes we have to make mistakes in order to learn.

In order to grow.

The next time I make that chicken,

It won't be burnt (ok, maybe just not AS burnt...)

I have come up with a system to not forget laundry in the washer.

I make mistakes.

I learn from them.

I improve myself.

Which makes me wonder,

if I hadn't made all the mistakes that I have over the years...

Would I have gotten to this point in my life?

I don't think so.

My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever

Psalm 73:26
