Forgiveness,

I have always been a pretty forgiving person. I'll pretty much forgive just about anyone. No matter who you are or what you've done. I guess it comes hand in hand with the compassion I have in my heart. I am a highly compassionate person who feels with every fiber of my body. I put 100% into everything I do. 

I love to help people and if I am capable, I will do everything in my power to do so. Of course, there are things I can't do and if I can't you can be assured,  I'll feel bad about not being able to. 

So, it bothers me that there are so many out there who completely take advantage of kindness. They continue to hurt many and use "well, they/I don't realize it"  as an excuse to continue to blindly hurt people. If you hurt someone, all it takes is an I'm sorry to smooth  things over. Shoot, if your that proud to even mutter an "I'm sorry" then do something to make up for your actions. 

I am teaching my kids the true meaning of forgiveness and I am working on my own forgiving issues. There are a few things that take me awhile to forgive for. But it's mainly habitual offenses that make me hang onto not forgiving someone. I am doing my best to work on forgiving sooner. Life is to short to hang onto the small things. It all starts with the tiny humans because they are the key to our future. But remember, if you hurt them, even intentional, whether it be physically, verbally or emotionally,  they will remember it and It is our job to be there to show them how to forgive.
