I don't think sometimes how light and freeing reconciliation can be. We are "happy" carrying the weight. We think we are in control...we should find out how good it is to give the anger and hate away!!! Well, said Victor!!

Christ on the Cross forgave - but that is because He is/was God. We humans sometimes feel the pain too deeply and sometimes just can't forgive. We may bear no ill feelings towards those who hurt us but the pain remains always raw.<br /><br />God bless you.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-22424902887742249882013-05-29T04:30:51.051-07:002013-05-29T04:30:51.051-07:00Is this based on a true story, too, Victor?

Then, the bitter resentment gave way to peace and contentment - though, the impact of the breakup was still felt by the family after they had both died.<br /><br />Imagine going to confession after 30 years! I wonder if priests feel a special joy when this happens?<br /><br />Another interesting post!<br /><br />God bless, Victor:-)Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10020095571963954615noreply@blogger.com
