Light the World Day 18 2017: Forgive

Forgive men their trespasses.  Matthew 6:14

This short video shows the son coming home, and being welcomed by his father.  Reminds me of a story in the Bible. 

Some of the suggestions include, writing the positive traits of someone that gets on your nerves, then try to imagine how god sees him or her.  The people who most get on my nerves are those that are excessively loud on the train.  This is not loud, but very very loud.  They sit in the same places, and I avoid the area, but sometimes there not not seats elsewhere.  Positive traits include, they are lively, they share of themselves, they enjoy each other's company, they know how to have fun.
We are all children of God, so God loves them as much as us quiet people.  I end up in their car, because I carry the phone, and don't think it  good idea to answer the phone in the quiet car.  

Dec 21: Jesus Forgave Others and So Can You

Forgiving others can be hard, but the Lord tells us we must forgive, even 70 times seven times, or in other words always.  Nnamdi Okonkwo tells tan inspiring story about forgiving others.
James E. faust also provides a good discourse on forgiving.  Starting by talking about the  tragedy when five Amish girls were murdered at school.  He provides many more examples, and points out how forgiving can release the poison which comes from holding a grudge.
