Had to beat myself upside the head (at least mentally) today. This is the season of love - it oozes from every possible mouth, nook and cranny. Oozing along with love are some other traits: forgiveness, unselfishness, kindness...the list could be nearly endless in this season that celebrates He Who Atoned For Everyone and Everything.
Today it seemed everything anyone said was about that. And I kept thinking, "Are you listening ******?" Until about halfway through Sacrament meeting when I realized I was lower than a snake, doing the very thing I had been mentally reprimanding this person for doing. My only saving grace? I was only mentally doing it (until now that is, when I've confessed to the world at large what a brat I am!).
That repenting thing? Will be doing a lot of it tonight on my knees. Asking for forgiveness. Counting on the grace that has always been there. I've still got so much to learn.
