One time I chose to forgive when I was tired of holding on the past that I could not change. I was surprised to find how much it freed me - for one thing, I no longer have that as the excuse of not succeeding in life...Peinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1699383840236782116.post-50989959100398220432011-05-15T14:16:49.921-05:002011-05-15T14:16:49.921-05:00Your comment, &quot;Forgiving is . . . actually remembering&quot; spoke powerfully to me. And love? Love is choosing to do the right thing, showing kindness in spite of how you feel. A person who was continually demeaning and critical (that I wanted to forget she exists), I decided to give myself the opportunity to grow. Over the last few years her deeply troubled life has compounded, and her need opened a door. A long story made short, at our recent conversation I sensed a beginning connection.<br /><br />Perhaps the reward will be (God helping me) actually feeling the forgiveness and love.Elisabeth Julinhttp://www.SubmissionIsNotSilence.comnoreply@blogger.com
