Just Wondering....

Why do I choose to learn things the hard way? God is trying to teach me to listen more and talk less...to think before speaking...to be uplifting and edifying to those I speak to and with. But then, there I go...words just fall out of my mouth...and you know what? you just can't take them back. Forgiveness is yours, but taking the words back is not. I don't want to learn the hard way...that is my prayer...take a breath Terry...think, pray, then speak. Sheesh... So grateful His mercies are NEW every single...every single morning. I need that.
