“The first to apologize is the bravest. The first to forgive is the strongest. And the first to forget is the happiest.” – Unknown

We often carry an umbrella on days we expect rain. If we are wise, we should carry a forgiving heart with us every day.  If we expect people to behave like people, then we should expect that they will probably do or say something hurtful. Because God has made provision for our sins before we sin, He is always ready and able to forgive us. If we follow His example we should prepare our heart to forgive others before there is even a need to do so.  ~”Forgive, and you shall be forgiven.” Jesus Conversations Within” ts 10/8/2015
