I thought I would throw you for a loop on the blog today. I track blog hits with google analytics and more people click on the blog when there is some sort of inflammatory or viral title to the blog. Titles like "knife to the throat" and "pool water in the bong" seem to get more hits than "kitty drinks milk" and "rain falls from sky". So I'm trying a different approach and making a title that has nothing to do with what the blog is about. Hope you're not upset :). I think its funny!
Have you ever been wrong about something? Or, better yet have you ever been wrong and thought you were right?
Our daughter is in Kindergarten and is learning how to read and write. Its fun to watch because she is learning so much. Its amazing when someone learns. Well, anyway what is interesting about this process is to watch how they learn.
This morning it was pretty funny. Our daughter Faith had written on a piece of paper something about our phone number and she wrote " Faith is phone number". Well of course we corrected her and told her that the correct way to write it is "Faith's phone number".
Simple adjustment right? Drop the 'i' and put in a ' instead. You would think that she would give in and thank us right? Wrong. Wrong wrong wrong. She got mad. Real mad. In her mind, she was right. She dug in. She held her ground. It didn't matter what was wrong or right, what mattered is that she thought that she was right.
But she was wrong. Even though she thought she was right.
Aren't we all that way some times? Don't we dig in about an issue or a way we see things and adamantly declare that we are right, even when faced with facts to the contrary?
Be aware of this. Open yourself up to think that you may have got something wrong. It may be possible that someone is not arguing with you, but actually trying to help you. Grit your teeth, and say thank you.
In the Bible, God used a Donkey to speak to someone. Is it possible that he could be using other donkeys in your life to speak to you?
Be blessed today.
