Comments on: Monday Meditations http://www.theresatrotter.com/2009/03/15/monday-meditations/ Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days, keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. -Psalm 34:12-14 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 11:22:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: sheriyates http://www.theresatrotter.com/2009/03/15/monday-meditations/comment-page-1/#comment-1092 sheriyates Tue, 17 Mar 2009 05:23:53 +0000 http://www.theresatrotter.com/?p=874#comment-1092 Theresa, I agree with Dani - forgiveness without forgetting isn't really forgiveness. We have to look at Christ as our example. I have heard well meaning Christians say, "well, I forgive you, but I will never trust you with that again." The heart of that is "because you did me wrong, I won't forget it! - ever!" The lack of forgiveness only steals from us and opens the door for the enemy to have a foothold in our life. The more we understand our own debt being paid in full with nothing held over our heads as payment, the more we can give back out to others all that we have received.

Forgiving means letting go. But sometimes behaviors require us to set boundaries. That is not forgetting, that is being responsible. Great post! xoxo, R It’s a delicate balancing act isn’t it?

Without it , it´s not really forgiveness. I really think it´s the reason a marriage can work too. Sometimes having a bad memory works in our favor! It seems the longer I am married the shorter memory I have! hehe thanks for your encouraging comments about the chores. I am working up to having them help with laundry. It would be a wonderful help. They do sort the dirty clothes and fold clean clothes. I run the machine at the moment but when asked they do their part. It would be great if they could get to doing it without me asking. :) Forgetting definitely is the key to forgiveness. Without it , it´s not really forgiveness.
