Devotion
When I was a kid, we watched “Jeopardy” and “Wheel of Fortune” in my house. I used to think that when someone ended the game “in the hole” (say, $-850), that they owed Alex Trebek or Pat Sajak that money and had to pay it before they could go home! My parents explained to me that, if they won money, they could keep it but, if they lost, they weren’t expected to pay it back.
Prayer
Generous God, you forgive my shortcomings and choose not to remember my failures. Thank you for the gift of forgiveness that you bestow on me every day. Amen.
