I skipped the Living Advent Day #22 Prompt. Partially because I was really tired after a long day yesterday. But also because Michael prompted us to consider someone we have given up on. And I am not sure I have given up on anyone. It may be a character flaw of mine that I keep giving people second, third, fourth chances....but I also think it's a good thing, usually.
So let's move to Living Advent Day #23, 12/21/15, where Michael's quote is as follows:
"Tiny Tim told me, coming home, that he hoped people saw him in church, because he was a cripple, and it might be pleasant to them to remember upon Christmas Day, who made lame beggars walk and blind men see." — Charles Dickens
Today's assignment was to consider what would happen if we made our imperfections public. Well, I think I do this all the time. As I stated in previous posts here, I have a lot of self-doubts and, frankly, I do not have much of an inner monologue. So it means I often talk to others about my imperfections, and maybe I share too much sometimes. I do believe that God forgives my imperfections, and, honestly, many times others do as well, as long as you are honest. So, it may hold me back sometimes (like in my career), but I think I will keep doing what I am doing. And, yes, sometimes I take out the garbage and recycling in my underwear too, to my neighbors, I am sorry! :-)
Psalm 51 is a prayer for cleansing and pardon. Things I ask for a lot - from God as well as from my friends and family here on Earth. Life would be much better if we could all grant each other the same (cleansing and pardon).
