Terri’s Two Cents Do I have to be perfect at everything I try to do? Or perfect at ANYTHING I try to do? I worry about that most of the time. When socializing with friends, I worry that I may say the “wrong” thing. When I speak in public, I worry that I will not convey my meaning well. When I invite my family or friends over for dinner, I worry that my food will be less than tasty and that my house will be less than Martha Stewart clean. I sure hope I’m not expected to be perfect. I am human, after all. Which means that I make mistakes. My wish is that my mistakes make me even more lovable, more approachable, and more relatable to those people with whom I come in contact. With his permission, I’d like to share the story of my husband and my first date. Andy and I met at a church Young Adult group meeting. We didn’t know much about each other, but we had crossed paths in the narthex before Worship several times. One Sunday, I spotted him in the crowd waiting to go into the sanctuary. I approached him and began a casual conversation about Photo credits: lifehacker.com.au the fun outings our young adult group was planning. He mentioned that going to watch a Hockey game could be fun. Enthusiastically, I agreed. So, the two of us planned a Hockey game event. Eventually, we decided not to invite anyone else to our outing. I was very nervous about going on a date with Andy because he seemed so perfect. He was always impeccably dressed, spoke intelligently, and had lots of friends in the church. The anticipated day came, and Andy picked me up at my house. We drove several miles into Seattle to watch the Thunderbirds Hockey team play. As we neared the Mercer Arena door, Andy discovered that he had forgotten to bring the tickets that he had purchased weeks before. After tons of apologies, we both laughed and laughed. That little mistake made all the difference in our attitudes toward each other. It really lightened the mood and helped us to be vulnerable and caring with each other. Because of that little blunder, we continued to deepen our relationship, became best friends, and eventually partners in life. After 31 years together, we don’t expect perfection from each other, just love. “All of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory.”— Romans 3: 23 3
