Five Minute Friday: Opportunity

Five Minute Friday

Go
I believe it was Anne of Green Gables that said “Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?” 

And I am choosing that as my motto this year... there is opportunity to start again with each new day... each new hour... each new moment.

Like today... I yelled at my children for doing something wrong that I had not taught them how to do right.

Oh yes there was guilt... but there was also repentance... I sent us all "back to bed" so we could start again and mommy could have a kinder day.

And so I will not wallow in my mistakes... I will turn over a new leaf and start again to make a better choice.

I will cover my multitude of sins with love... and cherish the beginning of every tomorrow.

Stop

  9. I love Ann of Green Gables..so many perfect quotes in that book. I am glad that you enjoyed my post. I really like your compact style of posting here on your blog: A constant peppering of daily thought well said...maybe for 2013 I should try to post more frequently...with out trying to cram so much in. I worry sometimes my post just get too dang long.
    Cheers,
    Leah
