What was your best FORGIVENESS experience?

Forgiveness has much power. That is why it is so hard. Forgiveness doesn't excuse the behavior . It acknowledges it and removes the behavior's offense. Sometimes forgiveness can diffuse grudges. One doesn't have to particularly like a person in order to forgive a person. Sometimes when we are forgiven we aren't sure what to do next. It takes great courage to forgive. What about you? What forgiveness story impacted you? Was it when someone forgave you? When you forgave someone? Or could it be there remains a need for some forgiveness in your life? Are you willing to share?

Who do you need to forgive?

Forgiving myself is the hardest part.

When I had a chance to meet my ex-wife a few years after we got divorced and she told me she never meant to hurt me. We are still friends today. We send e-mails once in a while.
