I thought how can I be forgiven if I can't forgive? <br /><br />Great post.

As you mentioned, we like the control.<br /><br />I linked here from another site (can't remember which one) and like your blog. You are a good writer.

The joke between me and my friend (who does have the spiritual gift of mercy) is that I was in the wrong line when they wree giving mercy gifts out. However, the Lord and I are working on this and I find that the more I ask Him for the capacity to show mercy, the more He provides it. Praise Him!!<br /><br />leahLeah Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888422138033372220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148005277457393373.post-14217388443252071762009-05-18T17:27:00.000-05:002009-05-18T17:27:00.000-05:00Being merciful and forgiving toward others certain...Being merciful and forgiving toward others certainly helps bring peace, and peace of mind.

Somethings just really don't matter. My husband and I never argue, but last night after a long stressful weekend I found myself "barking" orders and being hateful. He was just as tired as I was and I had to apologize.Leigh Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11804931037355091388noreply@blogger.com
