Second Chances

Second chances often provide wonderful opportunities.  Sometimes a second chance is a gift of grace and forgiveness as relationship is restored.  A second chance can provide occasion to try again in the aftermath of poor performance.  A second chance may provide someone a different perspective about you that they may have overlooked the first time.  Occasionally, a second chance allows one to participate in something he or she missed taking part in.  One does not always get a second chance, so when the opportunity is afforded, one is wise to take advantage of that opportunity.
 
This Sunday morning you will have a second chance to celebrate something many of you missed.  The first two Sundays in March were terrible weather Sundays with snow, freezing rain, and bitter cold.  Our children's choir presented their "Spring Fling" music on one of the those Sundays and several of our congregation were absent, so we are being given a second chance to enjoy a wonderful program of children's music during morning worship this Sunday.  Like most second chances, this opportunity is only enjoyed if you take advantage of it, so plan to be in worship this Sunday and invite a friend or neighbor to join you..
 
Second chances often bring blessing and provide opportunities to be a blessing.  Be alert to these opportunities today!
