Yeah, it's so amazing how God knew my litany of failures in this area, which even my husband probably didn't know of, and yet gave me another chance to grow. And it's so exciting and so liberating to do things differently, and get a different result.

Thanks much, @Emma. I guess one can be a mystic in solitude, but that hasn't been an acceptable job description since the middle ages with their anchorites!!

Great challenges too for living in community: especially the observation that relationships are more important than getting my own way. Now, to try and put this into practice!

I love the way God is gracious and gently gives us the same tasks to do over and over until we “sort of” master it.
I am so glad He never gives up on us!
