You post was very thought provoking, indeed. I have had trouble in my past to forgive (I don't usually forget) and still sometimes battle with it now days. However, I could never find out "how" one must go about to "forgive" someone. I finally decided that when I am stewing in my own mind about the wrong doings of others to me, I do my best, to stop and either think of something else entirely, mostly something that I love, or pray to God for that person to have a better life. I don't think praying is the way for everyone being we are all different, but if I can't seem to get the image out of my head, I suck it up and pray. I think the distracting of the feelings and remembering is what works really well for me. Oddly enough, I have even gone on to Youtube and found stupid funny animal videos or even a good book to just get my mind on something entirely. While I can't help what was done to me in my past, and there is only so much of "understanding" why the other person wronged me, that I can manage, I just distract myself. May sound stupid to others, and I have no clue if this is how to forgive, but it sure does make it easier for me and that's all I need in the end. :) Thanks for your post!! PS: I agree, if someone says anything about my son, they will "take the sin to their grave". That's what happens when you talk trash about our kids!! #momlife
