Ego,

You are wise

Forgiveness plays an important role in our lives

Thank you for inspiring me

Love,

Inner peace can be reached only when we practice forgiveness.

Forgiveness is letting go of the past, and is therefore the means for correcting our misperceptions.

 

Forgiveness does not mean condoning or agreeing with a horrendous act. It is a decision to no longer attack one’s self.

- Gerald Jampolsky

Very true Tex, i know i carry around alot of guilt i will work on that ! Get som rest my friend and i hope the rest on here are doing ok ? ~ Love &  Peace ~CD

Nice to see you, Ins!

 

You know? On the radio this morning, they were talking about how mean some people can be online (e.g. bullying). Yet I thought of how kind people are here on this thread. It's the yin and the yang of humanity, isn't it? I like to think that there are good people out there, and this thread attests to that. 

 

Yes, it is sad to see pointless, mean behavior by people as they leave comments on some online threads.  I truly don't understand what people gain from being so heartless. 

 

But on the other hand, there are gentle, kind and caring people all around us.  I am glad to have met some of the best of them right here.  Thank you for the love you share so freely with each other through your posts. 

 

who-am-i ~ I, too, "I love all the love" here on this thread.  Sweet niece you have! 

 

Love to All,

So glad you liked the photo!  I do love me some images - painting, photos, mixed media, all of it!  *silly, happy grin*

 

And it is so nice to see your "green" light lit saying you are here!  : )  You are so missed in your absences.

Ins, I love the quote you wrote about forgiveness not being about condoning a horrendous act. I am trying to learn how to forgive someone for what they did and that quote is very helpful. Thank you!! Lily that photo is so free and beautiful!! Thank you for sharing it!!

insight.

I'm leaving a few more forgiveness quotes . . .

Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive.

  - Wm. Paul Young

 

Forgiving does not erase the bitter past.  A healed memory is not a deleted memory.

Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember.

We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future.

- Lewis B. Smedes

 

 

Forgiveness is not something you do for someone else;

it's something you do for yourself.

To forgive is not to condone, it is to refuse

to continue feeling bad about an injury.

- Jim Beaver

Welcome Angelprint to this thread!  I hope you will find it as helpful, sustaining and enjoyable as so many of us do!  And I am so glad you liked the photo! 

 

I saw this quote a few days ago and it was especially helpful for me.  A new thought for sure!  Does it resonate with any of you?  It has and I think will continue to allow me more freedom from the pain of what I perceive to be wrong doings by others in my life.   

 

Love,

This is so gorgeous, Ins.  I love mixed media art and have already Google more of Jenny Grant's work.  I am now off to sit back and rest a bit while I thoroughly enjoy it!  Thank you for the quotes, the images and everything you bring to the forum by just being you.

 

Blessings,

JUST LOVE THIS...IT SPEAKS OF EXPECTATIONS NOT MET(BECAUSE THEY WERE MINE, NOT YOURS)

OF PROMISES NOT KEPT( BECAUSE I MADE THEM FOR YOU)

AND A PATH BLOCKED(BECAUSE I'M THE ONE IN THE WAY)

THANK YOU!!!

Can someone tell me what it means? The quote about accepting an apology you never got? Does it mean pretending you got the apology you wished for? I feel silly asking! Thank you!!

YES AP,

 

I THINK THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS.

IF YOUR HOPING FOR AN APOLOGY THAT YOU MAY NEVER GET...YOUR HANGING ON TO (PERHAPS) ANGER, JUDGEMENT, EXPECTATIONS, HURT, AND SO MUCH MORE.

WHO IS ALL THIS HURTING?

IS IT HURTING THE ONE/ONE'S THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED YOU PAIN?

 

N.O....  IT'S HURTING YOU!

 

SO, FOR YOUR SAKE...LET IT GO

 

IT'S ALL ABOUT FORGIVENESS, WHICH WILL ENABLE YOU TO MOVE FORWARD.

 

I HOPE I'M ON THE RIGHT PATH...TOO...IF NOT?  I HOPE SOMEONE ELSE WILL JUMP IN AND GIVE US BOTH AN EXPLINATION

 

GLAD TO SEE YOU HERE,

FLUTER
