I'm writing this a little early again as it is Wednesday night, but I'm sure no one will actually see it until Thursday. :) This week I'm thankful for forgiveness...both the ability to receive forgiveness and offer forgiveness. I absolutely love the nights that I can lay my head on my pillow and not have a tinge of regret or unease about something I did or did not do during that day. Unfortunately those nights are the exception rather than the norm. Most of the time as I lay there I think about my lack of patience with the kids...or the husband :). Why I yelled or didn't pay enough attention when they were talking, or expected my husband to be something more than simply human. Or I think about something someone did that ticked me off and why I was absolutely right in feeling or reacting the way I did. :) But luckily, no matter what, my children and husband always forgive me and I forgive them and I'm thankful for that.
I'm grateful for my children, husband, friends, parents, etc. who forgive my weaknesses daily. :)
so ironic that you would put that up last night, right after a conversation with my good friend who has a relative who's LACK of forgiveness is severely affecting their lives.. this isn't the place, but I'll have to tell you about it..
ReplyDeleteOne of the most restorative moments of being a mom for me is when I've been a GOON of a mom, I apologize to Libby, and she faithfully responds with, "That's OK, Mom." She demonstrates to me that forgiveness is everything.
ReplyDelete:) Cute.. Yes the thing my mom has to tell you.. ooh.. bah. Hey so anyway.. I want to see Nicks blog, but I don't know how to find it! Can you give me his code/password (whatever the heck that word is) so I can see it?
