Forgiveness

To

err

is

human,

to

forgive

divine.


 
Forgiveness appears to be a scale that can never be balanced.

Everyone wants me to forgive them, but nobody wants to forgive me.

Who is keeping score, who is trying to balance the scale??

"People can be more forgiving than you can imagine.
But you have to forgive yourself.
Let go of what's bitter and move on."  ~ Bill Cosby

Let your Higher Power be your score keeper, the one to balance your scales.

Ask God to forgive us for our evil thoughts and evil temper.

Do not be blind, that only applies to the Scales of  Justice.

If you have a friend who is very needy in the amount of forgiveness they require 

because they constantly offend you and others, it may be time to find another friend.

If the person who offends you is family, get even.

Oops, forgive me, do not do as I say, but do try harder,

One learns to forgive by having family discussions regarding doing what is right.

Respect boundaries.

Respect opinions.

Self respect.

"Children begin by loving their parents,
as they grow older they judge them,
sometimes they forgive them"    ~ Oscar Wilde


Today, do not forget that you do not want to repeat the sins of yesterday,

so that you will not have to seek forgiveness tomorrow.

To seek forgiveness remember that sorry does not cut it.

"Resentment is one burden that is
incompatible with your success.
Always be the first to forgive;
and forgive yourself first always."  ~ Dan Zadra

Live and let live.

Ask your Higher power for guidance.

Seek out friends who love, no forgiveness is required.

Love your family to the point where all is forgiven.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Love is helping someone love themselves.
