So, on Saturday I was given the chance to forgive someone who had wronged me. That night, me and my husband had a low key "open house" of sorts to celebrate our recent marriage with some friends who couldn't make it to the actual wedding. All night, I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of a friend who had told me they were coming. The night ended, and that friend never came. I was disappointed. I was sad. We hadn't seen each other in a long time. Driving home, I decided that it was okay and I told myself that they probably had a good reason for not coming. Essentially, I forgave them.
And I'm glad I did. I found out the next day, that they had a very good reason for not coming. I'm glad I was able to forgive them for not coming and be understanding of the situation. I am so grateful for all the times I have been forgiven. By friends, and most importantly by my Heavenly Father. I know how good it feels to be forgiven and I want my character to be a person who is willing to forgive.
