A Slip of the Lip
I did it again, Lord,
opened my mouth
at the wrong time…
not once,
but three times.
Why did I have to say
“comb your hair”?
Why wasn’t I just happy
that he was going to church
with me?
Am I still worried about
what others think?
I thought I had
overcome that.
In retrospect,
my heart
was more disheveled
than his hair.

Welcome. Hope you enjoy today’s poem.
I’d like for things to be perfect, but I know that’s impossible. Only God is perfect.
As you can see by my poem, at times I still slip up when I think my way is best. I should know by now that I can’t change people. The more I try, the more they resist my efforts.
Everything works out better when I leave people in God’s hands. This week I am going to make an effort to do that. I hope you will join me if you are having the same problem.
God bless you…….Fran
