I'm Sorry

On the way home from church today, LaVor and I were talking about forgiving other people. And especially, my issue with forgiving people. I told him I didn't think I had a problem with the subject, until he had me read his handout from his lesson today.

Am I a Forgiving Person?

1. Do you ever say, “Well, I will forgive, but I can never forget”?

2. Are you ever secretly happy when something unfortunate happens to someone you don’t like?

3. Do you ever wish you could get even with someone for something he has done to you?

4. Is there anyone you avoid or to whom you refuse to speak?

5. When you get angry with someone, do you sulk and take a few days to get over it?

6. Do you ever talk unkindly to others about someone you think has offended you?

7. Is there someone in your own immediate family whom you resent just a little for something he or she has done?

8. When you get in arguments with your brothers or sisters, do you bring up things they have done before that made you angry?

The fact that I could answer "yes" to 90% of these questions proved that I have a problem.

Good thing The Lime is learning early on that we need to say sorry. He lasted the entire time in Nursery today, which meant he got to participate in the coloring activity.

Yes, that is LaVor's hand on his head and LaVor's tie around his neck. What can I say? He loves his dad.

(His handout says, "I can be happy when I say, 'I'm sorry'")
