The Meal – reflection for Holy Thursday
Just a few thoughts
"Some people cannot accept mistakes. Everything has to be perfect from the start. They think others will look down on them if they appear to be flawed. These people are frequently stressed. The happiest and most successful people focus on improvement. They love mistakes and flaws, because they see them as opportunities to grow. Learn from these people. Have lofty goals, but have realistic standards. Don't judge yourself based on the results of your action. See them as feedback, and seek improvement from there." -- Blon Lee
May we be true disciples and listen to God every day so that we may do what is right and true.
