Good Morning.
My mug is full of Door County Pumpkin Spice Coffee. The house is warm and it is time to write.
It is true that a souffle' and a cake look tastier when they have risen to the right height for each treat. But even the best of chef's or the best bakers experience the fall of their dietary masterpieces now and then.
Matthew 18:21-22 Then Peter came to Him and said. "Lord how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" 22. Jesus said to him. " I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
I am here to say that one failure or even a few now and then does not stop a dedicated expert from continuing in their field. They learn from their mistakes and use the mistakes to hone their skills.
If we were to adopt the no quit, don't give up, keep going, attitude that a successful baker or chef needs to have when handling their delicate creations, to our own relationships, we might be able to make that marriage work. We might be able to be more neighborly. We might look forward more to each work day when we don't quit on our coworker relationships.
Yes the things happen to make a relationship fall or flop. But we need to keep trying and perfecting the recipe for love, respect, patience, and kindness. A tire is only really flat on one side. It isn't any good until someone fixes the flat or brings the compressor to "pump it up".
Food for thought.
