Today is as good a day as any (and better than some) to reflect on the apparent and unreal failures of our life...those times when it seemed as if we had failed, as if opportunity had passed us by, as if loss had won the day. Yet, we can now look back upon those times and see that life would not be undone, that failure created the possibility for another victory and something larger than us had won the day.
For this, I am most grateful. Happy Easter.
For me, finding the victories in apparent failures requires perspective, which requires time and patience. Lord, I could always use more patience!
