It is easy to point fingers and find fault. It takes true grit to bear and forbear -- that is, to forgive. As I think about this wonderful year of 2009 I think about success and failure. They are hand and glove and one comes with the other. Some say that success is only one more failure. Others say it is one more try. Forgiveness is one more try. It is taking your pride and setting it aside in the name of letting go of the harsh and unforgiving.
If I were to be on one side of the coin -- I would choose the kinder road, I would be tender hearted, and I would simply say after all I've done -- forgive me. We all know the disappearing act, the cooling off the scene, and the hot pot boiling over. We recognize it in our own actions at times. But the one who stays around, the one who cares even when it hurts, the one who lifts us up even when they themselves have been hurt -- now that is the side of the coin that I will admire and seek after ... after all charity seeketh not her own but is long suffering.
