Apologies, forgiveness, and maybe a little repentance!




I'm back!! Oh my goodness! I've got a lot of catching up too do! Later though. Here is a post I felt had to be written. I don't know why but, here goes.

   I've had to swallow my pride recently and apologize to a long time and cherished friend of mine. Luckily, she accepted my apology.
   Have you ever hurt someone's feelings unintentionally or even, heaven forbid, intentionally? Have you ever judged someone's intentions by what you think they might have meant? Have you ever said anything that you didn't mean (maybe you were having a bad day, didn't get enough sleep, or you have been going through a struggle or trial that is overwhelming you)? Have you waited too long to apologize, repent, or even forgive? I have!
    Man! Life is tough sometimes. I don't want to wait too long or to judge too quickly! I might not know what they are going through.  I want to apologize, forgive and repent before it IS too late. I don't want to waste another second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year, or years. The person I didn't forgive or apologize too, may not be here when I'm  truly ready.
   I don't want to have regrets for not giving, receiving and accepting apologies.
