Tears came to my eyes when I read this last posting. I loved all the others as well, but this one touched my heart, especially when I saw the picture of you with the two Honor Stars. How well, I remember that day. You have been on my mind the last few days, so I was so excited when I found out where you were. I don't like losing touch with special friends. God Bless You. I still have the same email so when you get a chance send me a note.Sue Hinesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024107620543536573.post-7537429433211819042010-05-13T23:13:09.402-04:002010-05-13T23:13:09.402-04:00I'm with you on this, especially your #s 3 and...I'm with you on this, especially your #s 3 and 6; things I've been saying for a long time. And indeed, forgiveness is a choice. It is not a reaction, or goods earned after apology. Forgiveness is its own decision. Those reluctant to forgive turn into your #5, and are often the ones most likely to hurt you next. Hard as it is, if we don't forgive, neither will God forgive us.<br /><br />And kindness is a verb, a state of being ("be ye kind" Paul says). Kindness doesn't mean niceties for niceness sake. It literally means you treat people the way you would treat your family, like we are the same. Being "kind" is like saying we are of the same kind, in the same language as Genesis, you know, "birds according to their kind", etc. So yes, let's all be kind, for we are kindred.jon TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738915806502002447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1024107620543536573.post-69981788408543783712010-05-13T10:37:11.283-04:002010-05-13T10:37:11.283-04:00Debbie,

And, like you, I've had my own "May 13". For ME it was not a May 13 LITERALLY, but it's my own horrific date earlier this year. Your advice is wise and helpful. And seeing "where you're at" now spiritually, geographically, and in so many other categories, gives me hope today. <br />You may remember Rev. Jim Spence who used to be Chaplain at Walpole prison. Jim says, "Unless a speaker has SUFFERED, he really has nothing to say to me." I agree with Jim. I'm sorry you have suffered, but you have a lot to say!Bob Barilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982054633892005919noreply@blogger.com
