Perfection is in the eye of the beholder. To a toddler, having one more building block added to the tower brings the joy of completion. In a school-aged child, crossing the bars without falling off is a sign of success. A teenager lets out the sigh of relief after presenting a flawless speech in front of his peers. The disabled have grins of sheer exhilaration as they achieve a goal seemed impossible only months before. A parent only sees perfection in the accomplishments of a child, or while in meeting one’s own life-long goals. Perfection does not mean impeccably correct. Instead, it is giving 100% to the task, being proud of the final product, and gaining wisdom during the process. Praying to God, the absolute perfect one, will always be there to help us get through any hurdles along the way.
