FORGIVE YOURSELF

We had a burning bowl service in church Sunday.
That means we wrote something on a piece of
paper that we wanted to get rid of in the new year.
I wrote that I wanted to get rid of 30 lbs of fat in
the first two months of 2009. I put that note in the
burn pot and let it go. SO I should be 30lbs lighter
in a couple of months. After we burned our notes
we marched back into the church, and as we went
back into the sanctuary we reached into a box
that had Angel cards with a message on it for
us. The message that I got was "Forgive Yourself".
WOW how important is that. If we can't forgive
ourselves then how can we expect others to forgive
us. If we can forgive ourselves then it doesn't matter
if others can forgive us. There are times when I
feel I need forgiveness for just being alive. I have
done things that I am not proud of and need
forgiveness for. I learned a while ago that you
can't change the past so forgiveness may be the
only option. If you can forgive yourself then you
don't have to change the past. The past is just
a memory that doesn't control your "NOW" or
your "FUTURE". If you can't forgive, then how
can you be forgiven. I FORGIVE YOU AND ME.
