Best Teachers

Do you ever feel miserable like Job? I do sometimes but not because I’m suffering without cause. Those are the times when I try to do something for others and only make matters worse. Like Job, I moan and groan and mope around asking, Why, Lord? Why did I interfere where it wasn’t appreciated. I meant well. I thought I was being helpful. It’s like a dark cloud settles over me and I feel the need for penance of some kind. But all I can do is apologize and hope I’m forgiven. Mistakes in our lives are great reminders of our imperfect humanity. Much better teachers than our successes.
