I think moms are the best forgivers on the planet. Mine was to me; I am to my children. Much of forgiving just has to do with realizing that by the time it gets around to forgiving our kids, they've already learned their lesson, whatever happened is over, and it's time to move on. Holding grudges is stupid, childish and unproductive.
What if God held everything we've ever done against us? Every bad decision, every thoughtless act. Nothing was wiped clean. How awful! Let's remember this the next time we elongate a bad situation, especially with our children, by gripping it tightly, feeling the hurt, unable to let go. Do unto others...remember?
