Today was our Taft's birthday. I started the morning by taking him "fishing" in the local pond. Wasn't very successful...especially when I got mad at him for tangling up the rods when I knew I should have asked him to do something different to prevent it. I had even had a spiritual impression that something was going to happen that I glossed over and ignored.
Anyway, today's life lesson has to do with apologizing ... Which I have been doing a lot of lately. I keep getting upset with my kids when they don't deserve it and then I end up having to apologize when I realize that I am almost always the one in the wrong.
After I got upset with Taft I realized my error and apologized to him while I was trying to fix up the lines. As soon as I did it then I was able to quickly fix the problem and move on. The same is true of our lives in general. Apologize and we will be able to move on with forgiveness and healing.
