Today I am thankful for forgiveness. I value it in others and try to cultivate it in myself. I am thankful for those that choose to let it go and courageously move forward leaving the past behind. I am thankful for forgiveness from my God for the sins that all we all commit, for forgiveness from people that I have wronged. with or without intention. I am thankful for forgiveness for any hurt that I have caused. for the forgiveness I ask for and the forgiveness that I don't. I am thankful for the forgiveness from myself...which , for me, is the most difficult forgiveness to ask for and give. I am thankful for the will to forgive, and the knowledge that true forgiveness is a process that takes time. I am thankful for the people I've forgiven and who have forgiven me...we are better people for moving forward in love to a new and brighter tomorrow.
“The willingness to forgive is a sign of spiritual and emotional maturity. It is one of the great virtues to which we all should aspire. Imagine a world filled with individuals willing both to apologize and to accept an apology. Is there any problem that could not be solved among people who possessed the humility and largeness of spirit and soul to do either -- or both -- when needed?”
~ Gordon B. Hinckley
