Learning to Forgive…or Not

by JM

hugs.jpgThis week’s theme of forgiveness is one very close to my heart. I’ve been forgiven of so much in my life and forgiven others of a lot too. I’ve also withheld forgiveness and still do to this day.

There are also the religious things that surround forgiveness. Ask forgiveness for your sins. Forgive others lest ye not be forgiven.

That sort of thing.

So tell me about a time someone did something terrible to you. What happened? When? Did you forgive them? If so, how long did it take? If not, do you think you’ll ever forgive him/her/them? Did the guilty party even ask for forgiveness? If you had done the same thing, would you expect forgiveness?

Move me.

    You provided a unique perspective a lot of people wouldn’t be brave enough to say for fear of being judged or not politically correct.
