Forgiveness is the scent the pine tree leaves on the ax as it is cut down.
~Author Unknown.

Forgiveness does not wait. 

Forgiveness does not carry around a grudge to make all uncomfortable and hurt before releasing the beauty of what is inside.

Forgiveness does just that.

It gives immediately.

Without hesitation.

I don’t need to complain of my hardships and unease so that I can let one and all know that sunshine and rainbows and unicorns are not dancing around me right now.

I don’t need to be dressed in my sorrow for all to notice.

I am called to rejoice!

REJOICE for He has done GREAT things for me!

His beauty is all around me…. in missing teeth and arms full of bracelets.

I will be praying for you and your search for beauty.

I will be praying for you and your efforts to forgive.

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.- Ephesians 4:32
