Mistakes

I had to repeat many lessons over and over when I was younger.  As I've aged, I think I've improved - I only need to repeat it three or four times now!  My problem is that I am kind hearted and believe that all people are decent at the core.  Sometimes they have to prove and re-prove that they truly are not.  At that point, I walk away with disappointment - both in myself for trying so hard and in them for letting me down.  God's word tells us to turn the other cheek.  Sometimes I'm just plain short of cheeks!
