chuckling, which was another mistake. 

I hung up the phone and sat in my truck thinking that I had a three-hour
wait until she got there with the gas for the truck. 

On my fourth deep sigh, I saw my wife driving her van and park right
next to my truck. I saw her through the window with the biggest smile 
I've ever seen her wear. 

She got out of her van and said, “Is this the truck that's out of gas?” 

At this point, I had exhausted all of my mistakes and just soberly
nodded my head in the affirmative. 

She got a can of gas out of her van and set it down next to my truck. I
picked it up and emptied it into my truck's gas tank. 

When finished, I put the can back in her van and closed the door. Then,
I looked at her and simply said, “Thank you so much for your help.” 

She chuckled and said, “Do you think you ought to go and fill your truck
up with gas now?” 

Being all out of mistakes at this point, I told her, “I'm going right
now and fill this truck up with as much gas as I can get.” 

I took my time going to the gas station and filling up my truck because
I knew I would experience the next stage of my wife's giggling about my 
mistake as soon as I got home. 

My biggest lessons have come from mistakes I've made. But the lessons
only come when I deal with the error and make it right. 

I like what David said, “Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me
from secret faults” (Psalm 19:12). 

It's one thing to deal with the mistakes at hand, but it's another thing
to be cleansed from secret faults. So I'm learning to deal with the 
mistakes that I don't know I'm making each day.
