Let's admit to each other where we miss the mark
********
My vice?
I try to be a nice Christian mother. Living a quiet life. Trying my best to raise my daughter up in the way she should go. Trying to help out my relatives. Trying to be a quiet neighbor.
I really can and do forgive a lot.
If someone crosses me, almost always, I completely forgive and forget. And go on happily with my life.
But the minute someone crosses my family- my blood, I go hardcore back to them trailer roots.
Find out real quick what it's like to mess with someone who grew up without indoor plumbing.
But afterward, I feel guilty and pray about it.
And after that, I'll be filling the dishwasher, ruminating about what a little punk that person was for doing that to an elder or younger relative of mine.
Then I'll feel bad and pray about it again.
Then I'll be playing solitaire, and mutter under my breath about that little b word.
Then I'll pray for the person, and pray for forgiveness.
That's one of my big flaws.

What's one of yours?
