Good morning family and friendsIt's a beautiful morning in GaI walked out the back door and sat on oursteps drinking coffee admiring the beauty of nature.Birds are flying and singing, bees are buzzing around megrass is green (needing cutting), just simple things we takefor granted. God gave us all these things.
I have been fighting with myself on forgivingI think the first step is forgiving myselfIf I can't forgive myself of things I've done,how can I forgive othersI was reading in a devotional book yesterday andname of lesson was Jesus forgave, but did he forget?Title really caught my eyeLesson gave 2 examples on subjectOne was where a debtor goes to the king explaininghow he couldn't repay the debt he owed. The king forgavethe man's debt and took the loss on himself. This man, who had his debt forgiven, was not so forgivingto the second man who owed him. He had the secondman sent to prison until his debt was paidWhen the king heard of what happened, he punishedthe first man for his unforgivingMoral of this was we should forgive others becauseone day we may need to be forgiven
Second lesson was on Peter when he denied Jesus 3times as predicted. Jesus gave Peter 3 chances to provehis loyalty, one for each time Peter had denied himJesus didn't say there was nothing to forgive, he forgavewhat Peter done, but he didn't forget either.In his forgiveness, he didn't hold a grudge against Peter, he moved on with his teachingsMoral is people do us wrong during life, but Jesus teachesto forgive and not hold grudges. We should acknowledge the wrong that has happened, confront the one who done thewrong then take the teaching Jesus taught on love, kindness, and forgiveness. We may not forget but don't harbor the hurt,we must truly forgive with a heart of love.
This is not easy to do, God understands. I have carried some tragedy in my life around for20 years, things I need to forgive myself forMy goal is to work on forgiving me, then I can forgiveothers who I feel betrayed me.God is so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to leave a few Bible verses that speakson forgiveness.Ephesians 4:32Mark 11:251 John 1:19Matthew 18:21-22 (very powerful)
Have an awesome day my friendsBe kind to everyone and show God's love

I have tossed this subject in the closet butit is something we all need to find in our heart to doIt is a deep subject so it will probably be in parts asI work myself through this process
When we feel we have been betrayed by thosewe called "friends", we hurt in different waysI find myself feeling anger and resentment andwanting to hold on to those feelingsAs a Christian, I remember learning from pastorsand my dad what the Bible teaches on forgiveness.
I have to find a way to forgive others like Godforgives us. He loves us unconditional which is hardfor me to grasp at times.
Holding on to the hurt and resentment causes meanxiety, restlessness, loss of enjoyment, fear of seeingthe one who caused the anger and spending time alone toavoid any chance of being reminded of the hurt.So, why do I hang on to the anger? I really don't know but I have to find a way to forgiveBible teaches if a person can't find a way to forgive thenthe heavenly father can't forgive you.I want to always please my heavenly father, so this is anarea in my life I need to really work on.
How do you forgive those who hurt you?
Have a great day and be nice to someone,Doesn't cost a thing!!!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day to all my family and friends!!!I want to wish my mother a Heavenly Mother's DayI want to thank her for all the big and small things she doneI thank her for all the sacrifices made for meWe take for granted the small things in life untilour loved one passes to the other sideI know my mother had treasures waiting for herin heaven for the life she lived for the Lord.I love you mommy and miss you every day.
I thank God for the 2 wonderful sons he loaned meI am a Christian first and a mother second I was a single mother for several years and struggledto provide but God never left me, he was walking with me and when I fell, he picked me up and gave me thestrength I needed to keep going. I raised my sons in church and tried to be an exampleof a Godly mother. I fell many times like I said, but therewas a hand right there, all I needed to do was reach out.
I found 3 pictures that spoke to my heart this morningWishing you a happy and blessed day!!!!!!
Good morning friendsIt has been a few days since I visited my blogI was involved in a project that sadly fell apartI was taught to look for some good in every situationand the good I learned from this was to stay true to me.
Sometimes we bend our beliefs for othersThis can occur to feel accepted by others, to fit inby others or trying to restore something that was lostWhatever the reason, we lose ourselves trying to be something elseWhen you look in the mirror, who do you see?If you don't recognize the person looking back at you, youhave lost yourself.
Do you know your true self?Can you accept who you truly are?I am a confident person; I know my strengths andI know my weaknesses. I am able to take accountabilityfor my actions. If I am wrong, I admit I was wrong.I try to grow from life's situations to make myself a better person. I may not be liked by everyone but that'sokay, I accept that and move on.
If you are facing a battle in your life todaylook in the mirror, who do you see?Don't change who you are to please othersIn doing so, you will be the unhappy one
I found these 2 quotes I want to share with you.Have an awesome day and BE YOU!!!!!!!
