A story from Unlock Liverpool:-

It's Good Enough For Anyone:

Our first session looked at the theme, 'Even Good Parents Make Mistakes'.  Starting from a picture of a very lonely looking girl we shared stories, of course we all had plenty of personal experience to draw on! I then 'told' the story of Mary and Joseph losing Jesus on the way back from Jerusalem.  At our following meeting one of the girls was really animated when I asked, 'Has anything from the last session made a difference to you over the last fortnight?'  'Yes, yes! It was amazing, right, we was in town and me mate lost her kid, only for a few minutes like but while he was lost we bumped into her mam and her mam was furious, yelling at her and that.  And I thought, that's a bit harsh, she's only made a mistake.  Then we found the kid but her mam were still going on and I remembered what had happened to Mary so I told her if it was good enough for Jesus to have a human mam that made mistakes then surely it's good enough for anyone!'
