Egg on My Face
Brenna often had egg (and other food) on her face when she was smaller. Children get messy while they learn to eat.
Although no longer a child, I still get egg on my face. I did so at least three times recently.
- Once I ate an egg too fast.
- Twice I made silly mistakes.
When I get egg on my face, I embarrass myself.
I fail to do something right. Sometimes I make simple mistakes. They cause no big problems. Other times, my mistakes are more serious. I fall flat.
What should I do when I get egg on my face?
- Laugh at the silly little things. Everyone makes mistakes.
- Wipe the egg off and keep going. Don’t give up.
- Pay more attention. Be careful so I don’t make more mistakes.
- See it as an opportunity. Go back to the drawing board and learn to do better.
“A man who refuses to admit his mistakes can never be successful. But if he confesses and forsakes them, he gets another chance” (Proverbs 28:13 TLB).

I would like to know more about if you’re husband don’t attend Church with his children and wife? What are the teachings in the Bible and there actual meaning for the family as a whole?
Marsha, many people share your concern. The Bible clearly teaches the importance of growing, studying the Bible, praying, and attending church. You cannot force your husband to attend with you. However, you can live your life in such a way that it may draw him to Jesus and the church. I would encourage you to discuss this in more depth with your pastor and to enlist prayer partners for your husband’s relationship with Jesus. I am praying for you and your family.
