Forgiveness

~forgiveness… its an easy concept but it is really hard to actually do.  At least for me.  I can say that I have forgiven many people in my life but then something will happen and I will think about someone or something that happened in my life that was particularly difficult, not nice, or something of the like and I will remember it and not let it go.  This then leads me to think about it for a good while and ponder about it again, when i should have just forgotten it in the first place.  This has been on my mind lately.  For my night class we have to write a forgiveness paper and burn it when we are done, symbolizing how everything that we are hanging onto we need to let go and forget because they no longer matter.

~I struggle with this, a lot.  I want to forget i really do, it would make many things within my life a whole lot easier if i could just forgive and forget… I have no problem forgiving, but i feel everytime i remember something i need to forgive again… and i shouldn’t even remember. If anyone has any advice on how to combat this feeling please share. I could use anything that anyone has to say.
