I've been forgiven much, and find that giving forgiveness (though always underserved) cleanses the soul, and frees me to live every day without the ball and chain of unforgiveness dragging behind me.

For when we cleanse ourselves of the anger we feel toward another we are releasing the hold we let them have on us.<BR/><BR/>Allowing them to live their lives they way they wish is the best gift we can give them. However, as you mentioned, we do not have to take abuse from anyone.<BR/><BR/>What you get is what you give.<BR/><BR/>Rejoice in the opportunities that your choices present to you.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for enriching my life. In spite of the difficulties you have endured there is joy to be found. One of the greatest one's is Mark's speedy recovery. Another is your maintaining your love for the world.<BR/><BR/>No matter how much you might want to hide it, it does shine through. We are all the better for it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.<BR/><BR/>Now get back to work and take some more wonderful photos. I realize it is too much to expect a chocolate Kahlua cake. tee heeJack K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10619303846748379807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30610711.post-23041326992656693302007-03-19T04:45:00.000-07:002007-03-19T04:45:00.000-07:00Love the blooms!
