Thank God for Mercy!

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.
-William James

It's so challenging at times though, isn't it...the whole "knowing what to overlook" thing? It is for me anyway, so if you have mastered this art, you're definitely someone I respect and admire...someone I would like to learn from. For the rest of us, this continues to be an area of growth. Sometimes, instead of overlooking the bad in those around us, we, sadly, overlook the good by fixing our eyes on little things, which, seen through the magnifying glass of our own insecurities, are too big to ignore. Something that seems to help is going back and seeing the whole thing again looking through the minimizing glass of Mercy...you'd be surprised how different things can look when you switch glasses.

How many times have others had to do this switch in order to be able to put up with me?...no need to answer that... Thank God for Mercy!!!
