One time on social media, I read a discussion on which way the
toilet paper roll should be placed in the TP holder; so the paper comes over the top or under
the roll. I’d never given this much thought. I just did it how my family did it
in my home growing up; with the paper coming down under the roll. I decided to
give it a test and tried it both ways trying to determine which way I thought
was best.
After a few weeks, my unscientific study determined that it was
easier to use if it came over the top! This is different that I had down my
whole, entire life! I was wrong! I had an epiphany that there was another way,
other than my way that was better. I needed to do some repenting and forgiving
of myself and others.
Now the parable: I realized that I could be wrong about something. I was humbled. What a blessing that I have
such a patient husband who let me be right most of the time in our marriage!
This experience changed my way of thinking and acting. What a great lesson for
our kids to learn earlier than my older years.
It is no doubt that they will learn this lesson on their
missions as they are placed with different companions, who have different ways
of doing things. Hopefully, they will learn this before they get married and
find out that there are two ways to do everything…and you may not always be
right.
The age old advice, to never go to bed angry is still great
advice! Be the first to say, you’re sorry.
I ask for your forgiveness for the many times that I may have
offended anyone here today. I have a repentant heart. I have been humbled.
