This week's 'Statement to Live By'

4th Mar 2018

“I know it is ok for me to make mistakes.”

Time to talk: Together you could explore how you feel about making mistakes. Is making mistakes a negative thing? Something to be feared or avoided at all costs? How can mistakes help us to learn and grow?

Why is having a healthy attitude to making (and bouncing back from) mistakes so important?

Making mistakes is a crucial part of the learning process and is also unavoidable. It is certainly nothing to be feared.

Lent is an important season in the Church’s year when we are especially encouraged think about our lives and the mistakes we make or have made.

We are encouraged to face up to our sins; to say sorry to God; to accept forgiveness; make amends and learn important lessons. This process is called repentance. 

When we say sorry we 'draw' a big fat line under whatever the problem or mistake was - so we can move on and start again.
