Braai bread

As an accountant I've learned a lot about fixing mistakes. Through investigation you can trace back through the audit trail to find the orinating transaction, then apply the correcting entry.

Thankfully in life there are oppotunities for us to fix mistakes we have made. I recently tried a new bread recepe. When removing the loaf from the oven, it at first glance appeared as if it was a total dissaster. The bread was still moist and for some reason it stuck to the wax wrap. I had to slice away the wrap, then later took the remaining loaf with to the braai.

The recepe said to slice the bread and toast on the braai. The end result... A perfect braai bread. Once toasted the bread still had a slight softness on the inside with a crispy outside and it was yummmmm! Had I baked it in the oven any longer it would have gone rock hard on the fire.

I learned that you have to follow ALL the instructions for something to work AND that mistakes can be salvaged.

This speaks to me of God's grace. When we have made mistakes, he is gracious enough to help us fix them so that we have a successful result. There are times when we will have to live with the consequences of our actions, but God is big enough to help us make the best of any situation!
