Thank you and blessings to you Sam and all the team,
Luella,
A great and well constructed piece. Your humanity shows through in a blaze of love giving light. You have a wonderful gift wih words.
At the cost of repeating myself I have to say once again that forgiveness is my greatest gift from God. Although I frequently work with clients who have problems forgiving I cannot fully understand. I know how to pass on the information and techniques needed but cannot 'get inside their shoes' you might say.
There are few in this world that I dislike, those I do I try to understand.
There are few who have harmed me enough for me to waste my time and health upon seeking revenge. Don't get me wrong, there is a place for punishment but it should not be used as retribution.
Why do I forgive so easily? I don't know? As I said, it must be a God given gift.
Am I a saint? Certainly not. I have done horrible things in my life of which I'm not proud, but I do forgive myself.
I'm forgiving myself now as, with various computer and business problems I had vowed not to post for a week BUT you have just pressed my HOT BUTTON.
Forgiveness is the single most health giving word on this planet because without it we are all doomed to a constant war of hate and retalliation.
Start with yourself and find another to forgive. Just try to understand, it really isn't hard.
Love to you all. Roger
