Rev Patti "As we Forgive..."

Forgiveness frees us from the past, lets us out of the story. It doesn`t condone bad behavior. It allows us to move beyond that moment, and not be blown by the winds of the moment.
Holding onto old thoughts of old hurts is like standing as Warden over the jail cell of a ghost- they`re gone! We`re the only ones still here.
We have tools to work our spiritual practice, to remind ourselves of our greater truth when our buttons get pushed. We don`t blame the person who pushed them, we ask when they got installed and what can we do to remove them.
