When I Get It Wrong...
I would love to think that I developed great character growing up. I was able to get along with people and didn’t “sweat the small things.” That I could get along with everybody and treat everyone with respect. That I strived to maintain that same character throughout my life. When I graduated high school, my mom warned me on what was ahead in my life’s journey. She told me, “I wish I could say that you will never have trying times. I wish I could say there will not be difficult people that you will have to deal with. I wish I could say that you will never feel sad or angry.” And you know moms, they always seem to be right. When relationships with friends and family began to change, I was sad. When I encountered people who sought out to hurt my feelings or take me out of my character, I was angry. When life in general didn’t go in the direction I wanted it to, I was sad and angry. Lately, I know for a fact that my character has been challenged, and I was losing. Someone
