It's 4 A.m. EST and I'm typing in the dark. This is the best part of seasons - the sudden change when the weather stands as backdrop to contrast eachothers beauty. It's quite amazing.
I never knew what a blog was--bumped into last night doing research for a book on forgiveness...I need true, real-life examples of people who had the courage to FORGIVE others no mATTER HOW UGLY IT WAS.
If anyone is out there and wants to share and is willing to be photgraphed and published...please let me know.
The schoolhouse shootings in Nickel Mines, PA in the Amish community - my God, how horrible. I was reading about it in People magazine and I received the most beautiful message of peace - FORGIVENESS. The story will change your life! It changed mine.
The Amish forgave Charles WhatsHisName that took their children's lives and , most likely, would have molested or sexually assaulted them. He committed the "unforgivable" and they (Amish) made it a point to console his distraught wife and family after the murders. The asked for her blessing to attend his funeral. And they made it a point to bring the children. They do not want hatred in their hearts: They begin this lesson at a very young age. They even set up a fund to help take care of his family's financial needs for the future??
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?? That's so fricking beautiful! So, So, BEAUTIFUL. The can forgive the man who murdered their children exacution style and penetrated the peaceful bubble of peace they have created for thundreds of years and I "can't" forgive my mother-in-law for telling me to, "fuck off"?
Peace, how we better ourselves, lay in the essence and beauty of forgiveness...of all. Pope John Paul FORGAVE the man who shot in his jail cell a few days after the shooting. It was one of the "hardest things I ever had to do." He said. Live by example my friends
