Forgiveness is a fickle bird but it is also God's greatest gift to us. Isn't it amazing how our creator can forgive us for our sins but we can't always forgive each other? It's tough to muster up genuine compassion for those who have wronged us. However, that anger can eat you alive, so doesn't forgiveness seem like the right choice? I know it's easier said than done. Trust me, I know!! A grudge is a heavy burden to carry. Point your heart towards forgiveness instead.
Heavy stuff, and while I could definitely post about forgiveness to some people in my life who seriously needed it, in keeping it light while we ponder the choice of forgiveness, here are my more comical takes on forgiving those who have wronged me over the years.
I grant FORGIVENESS:
To The TSA Agent in 2002 who took my mini scissors on a flight home. Ok, first of all, your X-ray thingy missed them heading to the destination ( I accidentally had them in my carry on) Second of all, I was NOT going to threaten the pilot to redirect the plane to BORA, BORA, I just wanted to cut my bangs. I forgive you.
To The newspaper delivery lady who missed us two weeks in a row only to deliver in a downpour with NO plastic sleeve. I forgive you, soggy paper and all.
To The Colts game ticket taker lady who made me ditch my favorite cross body purse. One question? How are Ebay sales? I forgive you
Speaking of Ebay
To The guy who bid 7x's on my Ray Bans for sale, only to win the auction and refuse to pay. Dude, no $, no biddy! I forgive you.
To Judge #3 for not choosing me as Indiana's Perfect Teen in 1988. I know I screwed up the walk but I slayed the evening gown portion in my tangerine puffy sleeved hoop skirt gown. I forgive you.
To my Junior Semi Formal dance date for standing me up!! I sat for 4 hours in my pretty yellow dress then said screw this and went to Burger King with the girls. I forgive you.
To the girls who broke my son's hearts, thank you, the ladies are after them like bees to honey! And we did not have to buy you Christmas gifts this year. Win Win! I forgive you.
To the sales lady at The Loft who was so snooty and wouldn't give me the time of day. To quote the movie Pretty Woman "You people work on commission right? Big mistake! Big! Huge! I have to go shopping now." I forgive you.

Here are some forgiveness quotes and reminders that you might find inspirational! Find a way in your heart and it shall be set free! I hope this week is wonderful for you all!
