FORGIVE & FORGET

There are too many people in life that hold a grudge towards other people. Holding a grudge is pointless, trust me, I had held a few. A grudge is like a cancer, it may start out small, but then it begins to fester and grow. It will continue to grow until it is too late. It can't be treated and soon it consumes your entire life.

I catch myself sometimes holding a grudge. but I know it is a cancer, so I let go. I think it takes someone humble to admit when they are wrong. It takes someone wise to admit when they are wrong, even if they are not wrong. They are the peacemakers and may God bless them for that. To forgive someone can be difficult and forgetting can be even harder. Although I don't think you can forgive without forgetting. You have to take one with the other. If you don't forget, there will be that cancer deep inside you and it will grow.

With me, family and friends are actually one. My family are my friends and vice versa. I really believe love between family and friends is so strong, that saying sorry and is sometimes unnecessary, but still should be practiced. Usually family and friends say sorry by other acts or deeds, such as a hug or kiss. If the person truly cares for their family or friend, they probably forgiven the offender even before they received an apology.

The Holy Bible, King James Version reads, Colossians 3:13- "Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye". In other words, be patient with one another, and forgive one another, if you have a fight with someone, you must forgive them as Christ forgave you. So before I end this entry, I would like to apologies to everybody that I have, hurt, argued with or wronged in any form, that I am unaware, that I may have done and I ask you to forgive and forget.

-or as a New Yorker would say," FUH=GIT-A-BOUT-IT"!!!
