I was watching an interview with researcher Dr. Brene Brown and in it she talks about a point made by a members in the, "For forgiveness to happen, something must die." He also implied that for all the forgiveness going on these days there is joy enough blood on the floor. This hit me because I and seeking forgiveness, but have no idea how to do it. It's an elusive emotion that I am in search of.
I hear people use the term all the time and I wonder how they do casually are able to find it. Recently heard the line "I can forgive, but I won't forget." Is not forgetting really forgiveness?
ive always believed it was my dad whom I needed to forgive but I've come to realized I most need to forgive myself. Like today, I let my kids bum around and play on their iPads all day. Granite, we had the yard sprayed for bugs and I didn't want them to play in it, but I felt as though I could be doing so much more to enrich their lives. It just plays into my issues if not being good enough. Hence the self forgiveness.
i am so thankful you have taken the time to read my thoughts. I am ever so thankful that the Dinday school teacher say that my daughter needed to okay more than sit still for a lesson. I am also so thankful my son only half soaked me today when he turned on the house and then fiercely protected his territory!
