Kiss and Make Up with Forgiveness

So today is National Kiss & Make Up Day!

Some thoughts on this:
Did you lose your temper with your spouse or children today. How about that co worker or friend?

It is the beginning of a new school year and the stress meters for families are climbing to the top and we often find ourselves quick to anger, we are tired and we are pre-occupied with worries . Our mouths pop open and here they come...those words that we wish we could take back.
We can't take them back but we CAN ask for forgiveness.

All we have to do is take the time to say," you know that person who said those hurtful words, that's me when I let sin get the better of me, please forgive me"!

The wonderful thing about forgiveness.....whether we are asking of it or giving it...we are showing love for that person. What a great gift to give to our spouses, our children , co-workers and our friends. It is a an opportunity to show that with God's grace he gives us do-overs, another chance to get it right. Our God is a God of second chances.

Mother Theresa writes about forgiveness: If we really want to love, we must first learn to forgive.

Love and Forgiveness go together like peanut butter and jelly, cake and ice cream, biscuits and butter iced tea and lemon, chicken and dumplings.....you get the picture!

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted , forgiving one another as God in Christ forgave you.
 Ephesians 4:32
