MISTAKES
by Reece B. Sherman

Everyone will mess up sometimes
We will all make a wrong move
None of us is perfect
That is easy to prove

Even when we try our best
We don't always get it right
Some of our mistakes are private
Some are in plain sight

So when you make a mistake
Please do not lose heart
Just try to put it behind you
Move on and have a new start

It may be difficult
Especially when we hurt another
Even if someone expects us to be perfect
If you try to pass that test don't even bother

So just do your best
In everything you do
This is all people actually
Should expect from you

A lot has happened since my last post (I will try to post more often). We've moved into a townhouse..."empty-nest" and loving it. I am having a Spinal Cord Stimulator placed in my spine within the next week or so. I went through a week-long trial and was amazed at the difference it made. I have made several New Year's resolutions. So far...so good. Still struggle with depression, PTSD. Still seeing my therapist monthly.

Three Significant Prayers for the New Year
1. Search Me - Psalm 139:23-24
2. Stretch Me - John 3 - Nicodemus
3. Send Me - Isaiah 6:1-8
And during the New Year may you have: 
enough happiness to keep you sweet - enough trials to keep you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human - enough hope to keep you happy, enough failure to keep you humble - enough success to keep you eager, enough friends to give you comfort - enough wealth to meet your needs, enough enthusiasm to make you look forward to tomorrow, & enough determination to make each day better than the day before.
Lord, please help us to use the 8,760 hours of this year the wisest way we can for you, & for your glory.

These are not only significant prayers, they are dangerous prayers.
