Second Chance

I love this organization on so many levels.
Even the title "People of the Second Chance" makes my eyes water.
Sounds like a group Jesus started.
So, when I was choosing what t-shirt to wear today in this weather sent straight from the Virgin Islands, My fingers brushed across the one with those words proclaimed across the front.
I profess to be one of those people but do I really even know what it means?
Harboring a hurt that I claim to have forgiven,
Yet the slightest hint of bitterness hangs in the air.
Have I really given a second shot at anything other than my do not ever call again list?
So I will swallow my pride as I go out on the limb of reconciliation.
Because people are worth it and resentment is not.
Because the words must not just be worn,
they must be lived.
