Are You Big Enough

So for the last few months I’ve been working online & have actually made money doing that.  That’s not what this blog is about.  But it’s what got me thinking about Are You Big Enough.  Now don’t go getting the wrong idea, I’m not talking about size of any kind before you go thinking I’m being insensitive. 



Some people think that apologizing is a sign of weakness.  But I believe you have to be pretty big to apologize, because it takes a lot of guts to admit when you’re wrong & to ask for forgiveness.  So Are You Big Enough?

I’m sitting here thinking about the times I’ve had to apologize.  I’ve of course over my life had to apologize to my mom, cousins, grandparents and husband.  The one I that I’m sure most people don’t do is to apologize to their children, but I do apologize to my son.  Yes you read that right, when I’ve done or said something to my son, I’m big enough to ask for his forgiveness. 

Several years ago my sister-in-law accused her son of doing something, I don’t remember what it was.  But he was only 5 or so & she didn’t believe that he was telling the truth that he didn’t do or say whatever it was.  A few days later she was telling me that she found out he was telling the truth.  I asked her, so did you apologize to him for calling him a liar?  She’s like of course not, I’m the parent & I don’t need to ask for his forgiveness.  I was thinking, you as the parent Are You Big Enough to admit that your wrong & should apologize.  So at that moment I told myself if I did something wrong to my son, no matter what it was that I would ask for his forgiveness. 

You know what to this day & he’s 13 now, I will still ask for his forgiveness when I get mad at him or anything else I might do on accident. He is still not interested in girls, but I hope that by my example when he does have children he will Be Big Enough to apologize to them also.

See if your still reading this Blog my original statement about Are You Big Enough was not what you thought it was going to be about.  So get your mind out of the gutter or racial slurs & truly think about what I’m saying.  Next time you think someone needs to apologize to you, realize that you Are You Big Enough to go first!
