excuse
/ik skyoos/- noun
a reason or explanation put forward to defend or justify a fault or offense
What's my excuse? I threw the mail in a pile and let it set there for weeks, perhaps even a month. I finally got to it tonight.
The deadline for sending a Christmas gift to the children I sponsor through Compassion International was October 31st. It will be in the mail tomorrow.
I opened letters from my sponsored children and conviction fell as I read not once, but twice, how one of them always prays for me and that my job will go well.
Work has been tough. I can use all the prayer I can get. I was humbled because I'm not good at praying for others on a regular basis. I know I have no excuse. Here was someone on the other side of the world doing so for me and I really needed it. God bless, Rini!

I'm praying for you, Leigh. Teaching's a hard business, and eats more time than outsiders realize.
