FORGIVENESS
To forgive
Is not to forget.
To forgive
Is really to remember
That nobody is perfect
That each of us stumbles
When we want so much to stay upright
That each of us says things
We wish we had never said
That we can all forget that love
Is more important than being right.
To forgive
Is really to remember
That we are so much more
Than our mistakes
That we are often more kind and caring
That accepting another's flaws
Can help us accept our own.
To forgive
Is to remember
That the odds are pretty good that
We might soon need to be forgiven ourselves.
That life sometimes gives us more
Than we can handle gracefully.
To forgive
Is to remember
That we have room in our hearts to
Begin again
And again,
And again.

LITTLE THOUGHTS
- The best way to get even is to forget...
- Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death...
- God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts...
- Some folks wear their halos much too tight...
- Some marriages are made in heaven, but they ALL have to be maintained on earth...
- Unless you can create the WHOLE universe in 5 days, then perhaps giving "advice" to God, isn't such a good idea!
- Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, and faith looks up.
- Standing in the middle of the road is dangerous. You will get knocked down by the traffic from both ways.
- Words are windows to the heart.
- A skeptic is a person who when he sees the handwriting on the wall, claims it's a forgery.
- It isn't difficult to make a mountain out of a molehill, just add a little dirt.
- A successful marriage isn't finding the right person-it's being the right person.
- The mighty oak tree was once a little nut that held its ground.
- Too many people offer God prayers, with claw marks all over them.
- The tongue must be heavy indeed, because so few people can hold it.
- To forgive is to set the prisoner free, and then discover the prisoner was you.
- You have to wonder about humans, they think God is dead and Elvis is alive!
- It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are done.
- You'll notice that a turtle only makes progress when it sticks out its neck...
- If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, you can bet the water bill is higher.
- You are richer today if you have laughed, given or forgiven.
