So many times these grudges will be between siblings. I know what it is like to loose a sister. I didn’t know how much I would miss her even though we only saw or talked with each other sometimes once a week. I can’t imagine how I would be affected if I would have been mad or had bad feelings toward her and I had no time to make up with her. I know a fella that lived beside his brother and the wife of one brother came between the two brothers by things she would do and say. They went for many years and never had any interactions between them, not even a hi. After several years of course they died and never even went to the others funeral. One point I am trying to get across is someday the time will come when you don’t have the opportunity to make a mends. We should all be like little children. They play together, have arguments, sometimes even fights but many times within the same day they are back playing together. An ole saying is don’t let the sun set mad at someone. God forgives use daily for our sins against him if we will just ask for forgiveness.

I always explain forgiveness, in cases of neglect, or abuse. This way, it’s like loading a 9 mm, putting it to someone’s head like you’re going to pull the trigger with all intention. And then choosing to put the gun down. Because it’s not our position to stand in judgment of anyone, for we’ve been forgiven.
