Faith, Perseverance and Patience have been with me for weeks. I am a slow learner.
Forgiveness and Acceptance keep coming to visit and then taking off. I must find a way to entice them to stay,
Serenity stopped for a short visit before leaving to be with Busting. And Doubt - well, little Doubt is growing up slowly into Trust - I keep bribing her with leftovers from the picnic:)
It's Acceptance and Forgiveness that I'm really after to stay close with me this week. I have a lot to learn from them - those wise old ones.
I was thinking this morning about forgiveness. I'm not really sure what it means to really truly do that - i don't think i've done that ever where i let it go completely. My way was to say to myself, it's okay doesn't matter, and then let resentment build behind the scenes.
so is forgiveness about understanding - really trying to understand why the other person may have done something from their point of view - and then saying that you can let it go, after acknowledging that they are human and humans don't always get things right?
i'm hoping others will chime in and talk about what it means to forgive for each of them.
