Cataloging Mistakes...and God's Grace

A friend told me that his teenage son asked him what mistakes he'd made that he wishes he could undo. My friend [wisely] asked for a little time to work on the list.

He came back to his son with a catalog of mistakes, but with an important twist -- for each one, he explained how God's grace was evident. And he concluded by carefully explaining how the Lord used all these mistakes to shape him into the bold&gentle man that he is today.

That's a good example for us, men.
