FIXING A BROKEN PROMISE Weve all been there. We promise to do our homework or mow the lawn or not be late or to be good. Because we are human, sooner or later we fail, leading someone to remind us, You promised! A broken promise is a broken bond that hurts a relationship. After a promise is broken, we fell less certain that we can count on someone or trust someone. We work our way back by keeping our next promise; then the next, then the next. One promise at a time, we heal the relationship and ourselves. PRAYER: One true God, give us the gift of integrity so that we may be as good as our word, and then as good as your word. -from Lent The Healing Season by Jerry Welte
