Better than living an unforgiving life.

Seems to me that the world is full of unforgiving souls. Far too many. I’m aware of a woman who was the primary care-giver for her Alzheimer-afflicted mother for 10 years. And she’s pissed at her brother. Because he more or less ignored their mother in those waning years. And now he’s gonna hold a memorial service for his mother. And his sister is thinking seriously about not attending. Because she’s pissed. Doesn’t want to forgive her brother for his neglect. And I think that’s sad. I’m trying to encourage the sister to forgive her brother. Totally. And to get on with the rest of her life. In a positive way. By exercising loving forgiveness. She’d be much better for it. Better than living an unforgiving life. –Jim Broede
