Forgiveness
“Let’s be a better person today: let’s forgive someone who wronged us-yesterday or ten years ago-just for today”
Heh. Again at first glance, I thought “I don’t do that- hold grudges. I let things go. I’m not angry at anyone.” And mostly that’s true. I don’t harbor any big ugly grudges against people. Even Jason, who frankly, I have every right too. I’m blessed that this sort of thing just isn’t in my nature.
But what I do instead i get irritated a hundred times a day at things that really don’t matter. The meeting that everyone is late for, the guy in front of me who stops at the roundabout, the kid who doesn’t do his chores right, the speaker who forgets to send me his notes, the manager who cancels meeting after meeting. I spend my days irritated and I really don’t want to live like this. I’ve never thought about it as forgiveness before, that always seemed to me to be for big things, but maybe it is in the same family.
