Brought low by my own words....

   I screwed up this last weekend! I said very ugly things to my teenager when he was giving me attitude and being disrespectful this being said, I am so sorry! It has eaten at me for the last three days, and I need to offer my apologies to Chance. He did not deserve what I gave him and while I will not allow him to disrespect me, I also will not allow myself to disrespect him either and especially not in front of others. It was wrong and I will try not to let it happen again.
  Ecclisiastes 7: 9 Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools. Well color me foolish. I was provoked by my child into very ugly behavior. The same child that I love and admire. He will forgive me because he loves me, and I will mess up again because I am human. However, I want to teach my boys that when you mess up you should offer up apologies and ask for forgiveness. Proverbs 12:18 the words of the reckless pierce like swords but the tongue of the wise brings healing. So there you go, in reckless anger I hurt Chance and now I repent and hope these words will bring healing between us. I am brought low by my own words and hope these words will redeem me in his eyes. I love him and he is big enough to forgive my words! I thank God for him daily and for the relationship we have!
   Friends never be so proud you can't offer an apology to the one who deserves it.
   God bless and keep you Ms. Jill
