I overhead a lady talking to a loved one this morning on her mobile phone.I wasn't deliberately listening in on the conversation, but as I was right beside her and she was talking loudly and there was no-one else around, it was difficult not to hear what she was saying.She told the recipient not to worry, just because her son got a B instead of an A in a well known Northern Ireland end of primary school exam, that it wasn't the end of the world and he must not feel a failure.Words of wisdom I thought and we got to chatting for a few minutes.We agreed that parents put pressure on their children to achieve what they themselves maybe were unable to.It's sad that people feel the need to "keep up with the Jones".
What a blessing to know that with God there are no failures,as He takes each one of us just the way we are!
