Good Morning, I had a missed opportunity, recently, which made me take a step back and ask myself, “What was I thinking?” To which the obvious answer is that I was not thinking, or I would have made a better decision. Have any of you ever kicked yourself in the seat of the pants because you missed a great, golden opportunity? I am sure most of us have and can relate. When I ponder “missed opportunities” I think about times when I have missed the opportunity to make a positive difference in someone’s life or missed the opportunity to be a blessing to someone hurting because I didn’t know them will enough to speak or missed the opportunity to witness to a lost friend because I thought maybe they were not interested enough to listen, but how did I know that for sure?
