Every Day in Every Way!

Years ago I read Og Mandino’s book titled “The Twelfth Angel”. That book has forever affected me with the quote “Everyday in everyday I am getting better and better”. If you have known me for very long you would likely have heard this from me several times. Two things jump out of that comment. First it gives one the freedom of knowing that they are not going to get it right all the time, maybe not even a lot of the time. This sets us in a beautifully humble place. Doing our best but knowing maybe there is better. It is OKAY to make mistakes. The very best thing about a mistake is that you get a chance to learn from it. I love being a life long learner! The second thing this statement yells out is that we have the hope of getting better and better. We are HIS masterpieces and He is not finished with us. We are all a work in progress. Knowing that we are still growing encourages us to give others the freedom to fail, learn and grow as well. I can always be excited about tomorrow for it is a new day. His mercies are new every morning. I am getting better and better! Join me!
