"Glory lies in the attempt to reach one's goal and not in reaching it."
~Mohandas Gandhi
The other day, this little guy grabbed my keys and spent a considerable amount of time reaching on tiny tip toes to unlock the door. Never mind that it was the wrong side of the door. He was on a mission. I marveled at his concentration. His determination. And there was no frustration on his part. Just lots of reaching. I'd do well to take notes from this littlest one. Even as a new walker, he falls down, trips but gets right back up. I love that.
I'm reaching and failing miserably in some things. And it's a brutal process. But I must keep reaching. The thing is: as I reach, I must remember that God's grace--that unearned, unmerited favor of God--is always there and He's still loving me in spite of me and my failures. Gotta keep getting up, dusting myself off and keep on reaching.
