So I just turned on the heat in the church, should be toasty soon. It's Family Sunday and we will have hotdogs and potluck after church. Miss Nancy is filling in for Ashley in Sunday School today. With the kids today I am going to talk about a time when we did something wrong and we need to find a way to make it better. I made a huge mistake yesterday. I was supposed to come to the church and makes sure the door was open for my friend Cassie to do her writing workshop. Well, I forgot. The door was unlocked when I left on Friday night late, but did it get locked again. Usually Dianne takes care of all of this stuff but she was going to Medicine Hat and asked me to do it. Well, I forgot. I got up and headed out to Presbytery for the day and didn't even think about it. So now, I need to apologize to Cassie and to whoever came and let her in I need to give thanks. A huge lesson for me, I am too busy and need to pay more attention to what I will say I will do. I am going to stop doing some of the things I said I would do. Yesterday I asked Presbytery to find another recording secretary and I have only one more meeting for Conference Executive. Leaving those two jobs behind will help a lot. In the mean time, I still owe Cassie an apology. That will be today's task. One of the most important things we can do is say we are sorry when we do something wrong. We need to stand up, say we made a mistake and own it. Then discover in ourselves why we are making mistakes, why we aren't paying attention to the responsibilities we have. So for me, a huge learning curve. Let's all take the time we need to give thanks when needed and ask for forgiveness when we need to. If we all owned up when we did something wrong the world would be a better place. Thanks for listening to my rant, have a great Sabbath today.
