REVERSE FIRST
by Sarah Arthur Butler, Parent Council Member
If I'm taking off from my own driveway, I put the car in reverse first, before I put it in drive so I don't destroy the garage by mistake! Similarly, I need to look behind in order to make the right move forward. If I'm disappointed by my young adults but manage to walk away from my own attitude long enough to remember what it was like to have less experience, to lack a sense of my own mortality, and to have limited hindsight, I respond differently. When I step back into reflection before I step forward into action, I make wiser, more prayerful choices.
