I am.

 

Mean. Callous. Inconsiderate. Thoughtless. Impatient.  I  am a sinner. I am ME.

And-

 

I always.

 

Trip. Stumble. Fall. I even roll over myself at times. No, don’t laugh, it’s true -literally and figuratively.

 

I hit a slump, hit rock-bottom. I make a mess. I get in and out of the pits. I crash and burn.

 

 

But-

 

But I’m glad I get my chances to get back on my feet.

 

And so blessed that-

My husband loves me. Cheesy as it sounds, but I sometimes couldn’t believe it. He, who always patiently meets me with a bucket of cold water when I get fiery, certainly loves me. This man, who I sometimes hurt, always pulls me up and wipes the slate clean so we can start over. Again and again and again…

 

 

And my family and my real friends love me, too. And forgive me. Despite everything.

 

 

Above all, God loves me. He loves too much to give me countless second chances. Awesome.
