I don't want to talk to my boys!
Ya think I might need to forgive them??
Ya Think!!
I’m sitting here thinking about the need to update my blog on forgiveness, then I thought to myself “but I don’t *feel* like it.” Of course, I had to go deeper to figure out the “why.”
Then it hit me like the proverbial ton...
I don’t feel like writing about forgiveness because I’m UPSET and don’t want to forgive NOBODY – can’t expect proper English when a girl is pissed off!
But I think as the ‘forgiveness lady’ I need to walk some of my talk. (self says to self)
THEN I go on Twitter (procrastination) and see a message from @DelWilliams complimenting my website http://www.myforgivenesskit.com !!
I thought to myself: OK God, could ya be a little more subtle?!
A little self-reflection later, I decided to come here and just bare my soul Hey if @spiritcoach can do it why can’t I??
I need to forgive the little rascals! They keep doing something that they KNOW is wrong over and over again. I need to forgive them because they expect me to; I always do. It’s right and they’re watching to make sure I do right. It is how they learn after all. I know, I know, but I just don’t *feel* like it! Maybe tomorrow.
Here comes reason, prevailing again!
But what am I going to do with this feeling? Suck down deep and just press right on.
The simple fact is I have to forgive. I simply HAVE to because among all the other more spiritual reasons, I’m messing up MY day!! I have work to do, life to live and yes, SO much to be grateful for (thank you @inspiremetoday for that nudge with your early mon!)
So thanks for dropping in and sharing this moment with me. I’m better now. Really, I am.
What do you do when you’re kind of stuck in un-forgiveness? Any rituals you care to share?
I can sure use some tips for the NEXT time my boys decide to finish a box of cereal (HUGE one) in a day!
Julette my friend! Welcome to MY world! : )
Yes -- that would be the land of the Humans -- one of the reasons we chose to be here on the planet for this time!
The quickest easiest way I've found to get into "forgiveness" is to get to compassion. Can I see why the silly kids did it? Of course I can -- they're SILLY KIDS -- it's THEIR JOB! Do I do silly stupid stuff still from time to time? OF COURSE I DO! Do I wanna be able to forgive myself when that happens! HECK YES! So by then, the switch has usually flipped, and I can let go of the anger, frustration, or whatever -- if necessary apologize, and generally "make nice" again. Oh yes -- and breathe . . . seems like when I'm being unforgiving -- I'm not breathing in the gifts of life so much! : ) Blessings my friend! U R an inspiration!

well done and well said. Isn't honesty refreshing?

Yup, boys of many ages seem to need to eat voraciously - I say this as a sister of two brothers and mother of two young men.
Could it be that a practical solution might rest in hiding the box of air cereal (by the way, just LOVED that post on the bird walking on a pocket of air - is there any way we could combine these lessons... hmmm) and feeding them steak for breakfast??!!

Forgiveness...hmmm….I had the ultimate test of forgiveness years ago. What I did, and what I continue to do is remind myself that God forgives me every day for all of my mistakes. He does it quickly without screaming and kicking. So I work at letting go of the human aspect of me being hurt, disgusted, and ticked off at the person and I forgive because it's the right thing to do - it feels good when I do. It's not as easy as I've described but it's so worth it! And I'm sure you know that because you felt better once you finally did forgive them.
You inspire me so much! I can't thank you enough!

PS. My sons are 7 and 5 and are eating us out of house and home. I'm sure I'll have a story similar to this to share!

Some time ago I learned a lesson on forgiveness that has really helped me. I needed to forgive a guy named Joe, but I was still angry. My friend, Bob, asked me if I thought I'd forgive Joe in a week, and I said that I would. Then he asked if I would forgive Joe within 2 days, and I reluctantly agreed that I could do that. Then he pushed it even farther and said, "Well, if you can forgive him in 2 days, then you can forgive him in 2 hours. The question isn't whether or not to forgive Joe, but a matter of when."
I learned that if I can do it in a week, I can do it in an instant. When I really thought about it, I couldn't see any benefit to carrying around something yucky for a week. So now, I just shrink the time into the instant and move on with the beauty of life. That tiny lesson has allowed me to be more present and live in the moment.
I hope it works for you too! Thanks for sharing your story.

Isn't it something that God forgives us so unconditionally and consistently yet we find it hard at times to forgive the smallest infraction? Sometimes I have to just shake my head at my/our nerve!!
Thanks so much for adding this dimension to the conversation.
I wasn't sure if I said this already on Facebook or twitter...so many platforms, right! But I really admire your consistently optimistic presence on the social network! I look forward to your messages!
Thanks for stopping and sharing with us!

Their eating only gets worse as the get older and the more active they are the more empty the fridge and cupboards... I have one that has only not played football competitively... you sometimes can't see his face for the food he has on his plate and no he doesn't eat junk, my husband and I both cook; he eats solid food but burns it off in his swimming, track, basketball; baseball and dance; he's 6' and 190 lbs and he can drink gallons of Gatorade, water and juice to go with all that he eats...
Julette, you have more to come so forgive this and plan for the years they'll still be at home... we trek cases of water and such their school campuses also, it doesn't go away when they go off to school... know that you're in good company...

Forgiveness!
What a huge command of God! I have been tested so many times in this area. Every time I go into the Zone of not forgiving someone God places me right in the midst of that person's life so that I can give counsel, so that I can pray, and yes, so that I can have mercy, love, and compassion in my heart. He reminds me right then, that he has forgiven me, will continue to forgive me, and to whom much is given much is required!
He reminds me in an instant that it is required for us to love and to forgive even though painful. Yes, we must.
Reply to this
Me too!! That zone of not forgiving is so tempting! But you're right, whether we want to or not, God does place those people and circumstances right in our path so we can develop a deeper capacity for love.
It's all about that capacity to love. The more we forgive, the more we love.
Thank You Cuz!

Some people are not willing to forgive at any cost, they might not be able to see the satisfaction and the feeling of fulfillment by forgiving someone, it is obvious that we are human beings, and "change is the law of nature", sometimes we may find it difficult to follow the path we had chosen for ourselves, but behind every obscure there a shadow of light, which will ultimately brighten our life eliminate the darkness forever.
