Day 16 – November 16 – “Name a time that you’ve been given a second chance.”
Second chances
are slippery slopes, and sometimes have grim outcomes.
Since this 30-day exercise is about
inspection and self awareness, I’m pretty sure the intent is not to explore all
the mistakes I’ve made over the years. I have, however, explored many of them, and a
whole lot of them involve second chances. But I am a person who likes to find “silver
linings”, so while many of my “second chances” have been disastrous, I like to
cover up the disasters with things like, “… well, if I hadn’t made THIS choice,
I wouldn’t have met you,” or “.. well, if I hadn’t made THAT choice, I never
would have been a nurse or a soldier or a mother.”
The BIG silver lining is that God ALWAYS gives me a second chance, and a third and a
fourth… ad infinitum.
Thank you,
God!
