Life is a test & a trust...
Day #5 - If life is indeed a test, is it possible to flunk? And how do we know what our 'grade point average' is...? And who really cares anyway...?
Actually, I don't think God is keeping score, otherwise, I'm quite sure I would have flunked out a LONG time ago. I think of life as the kind of test you can't fail...you keep at it. If you mess up, you say you're sorry & you try again. Sometimes it takes a whole lot of tries until you get it...but that's the beauty of life. As long as you're alive, you can try again & again & again...
I mean, just look at me. I'm constantly loosing things, misplacing things & I seem to thrive on chaos & disorganization. And yet God has entrusted ME (for whatever reason...only HE knows) with this massive responsibility to be our family's 'household manager'. Go figure...
But by far the biggest responsibility that God has entrusted to me is that of being a parent. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't mess up in this department. So, I don't think it's so much about getting it perfect as just doing the best you can with what you know & just TRYING to do better each & everyday.
If you really insist on getting a grade, take the Life Events Stress test.
And always remember: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!
