Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hello Melissa, It would be nice to be done, but unfortunately we have lived a life where we did things we didn't forgive ourselves for then and so now we have to find a way to do it as well as forgive those who may have hurt us in someway. I am sure that in the future we may have one of those days where life feels like it is getting the best of us and we catch ourselves being short with someone because we are tired or not feeling well or whatever or we may allow ourselves to be hurt by someone and we may respond in such a way that isn't the best way and so we will always have a need for forgiveness whether it is for something we do or someone else does. At least that is MHO. Love ya girl! Love, Katherine Melissa <mm7810 Thursday, October 4, 2007 9:35:07 PM Re: Forgiving Unforgiveness Hi Amanda and welcome - I think you re so correct. We need to forgive whether the other party is participating or not. That can be a VERY hard thing to do! Thanks for reminding us of that. I have really been working alot on forgiveness lately nd was advised to keep doing so, even though I *thought* I was done. Maybe not.
