Forgiveness

Hey Sandstone. You write blogs but when was the last time you sent me an email or a card. You missed my birthday even. That's ok. I forgive you. You're busy. Actually, I thought I'd use FORGIVENESS - excusing a mistake or offense as my subject. I like these blogs and hope that people appreciate them and get a better understanding as to how good character can help bring peace, hope and security to the world. Forgiving not sending an email or a card is easy. But think about this. We fought the World War II
against Germany and Japan and today, they are two of our closest allies, a great example of forgiveness.
When people are under great stress, as we are in this economy, oftimes they will do things that they later regret. It is easy to be angry, not so easy to forgive. As we approach this holiday season, when we are seeking peace on earth and good will towards men, it might be a good idea to think about those people in your life that you do not have a good relationship with because of a prior mistake or offense - and see if it is possible for you to forgive. Many times it is just reaching out and saying hello or sending them an email or card (hey Shist, just an example, nothing to do with my birthday) - and say something nice. It will make them feel better. It will make you feel better. Oh, and I know your birthday is on December 22, so Happy Birthday Shist.
