I had a talk with my mom the other day and it was pretty interesting. There's nothing more interesting to me than getting a look into an adults mind...

My mom and my dad have been fighting a lot lately and it eventually ends with my dad leaving the house, and my mom going to call her mom to get some advice. Well, when I asked my mom why my grandma had been calling so much, my mom just told me that she needed some advice and that she was trying to get some help cleaning her heart. That got me kind of curious....Because I've always thought my mom was some kind of super mom and that she didn't have to deal with problems like that. I finally got her to tell me that she's been having a hard time forgiving my dad for some of the stuff he's said. This confession brought on a whole new topic on forgiveness.

My mom asked me if I've ever had a hard time forgiving someone or if I've ever kept a really long grudge. And once I had thought about it, I realized that I never hold something against someone. I told my mom that I had decided long ago that if the person I was mad at died the next day I would feel awful because I had never gotten the chance to say that they were forgiven. And it's true...with everything going on in our country the way it is shouldn't it be better to forgive while you still can? Forgiving is a hard concept to accept....but just because you don't like what someone has done doesn't mean you should be the one holding the grudge.
