QUOTE OF THE DAY: "For us, the critical issuue is our responsiveness to [the] moving of the Holy Spirit."
-- Richard J. Foster

I had this mortifying experience today. I wrongfully accused someone I love of saying something she never said. My Aunt Carol and I talked at length tonight about our current activities. Then I had to get something off my chest. I had remembered her telling me that I was not held as a baby. For some reason it seemed very clear to me.
When I brought it up, she said she would never have said anything like that and that she wasn't even around when I was a baby. Must have been a dream.
I thought this for years! It caused me to doubt that my parents loved me. Very hard to deal with--actually, a really awful thing. Anyway, I have been on this journey of forgiveness, and I hurt my folks with more than they should have had to deal.
Boy, I could feel so rotten. You know, it's a good thing I have God to talk to about it, cuz you know, in my mind right now, there couldn't be anything worse that happened today. I am so heartfelt about being sorry, Carol. I love you very much. Thank you for your ready forgiveness. You are a wonderful lady.
My parents have forgiven me already. Our relationship is getting sweeter all the time, now that they're getting older, time is precious. My mom told me tonight that either we die or we go to Heaven [with Jesus]. I am so proud of her for that!!! Words can hardly express!!!!
If people can forgive so easily, how much more will our Heavenly Father forgive us? Every time, but do NOT take advantage of that in a bad way, like doing the wrong things just to get forgiveness.Start wanting to stop making mistakes! A-men!!!!!
