You deserve peace....

“Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness but because you deserve peace”

I have spent more than half of my married life trying to find certain peace in my life. Most of the time when I couldn't find it, I was fighting within myself. The anger I felt verses whether I forgave a person. Suddenly one day I realized I needed to let go, the anger I felt was getting the better of me. If I forgave the person even if they didn't know it gave me immeasurable peace.

After the discovery of Madelynn's coming, her birth and her heart journey, I had so much anger I needed to find the right way to let it go. I didn't know who to forgive for this life altering experience. My free will created it. So forgiving myself and letting go of my anger at GOD was a very difficult thing to do. But it still always came back to my choice and free will made this happen.

A few years back I was angry that something happened. Others were angry for and with me. The others that were angry were VERY angry. They wanted to know why I wasn't more angry and what was I going to do about it. The answer was simply nothing. I refuse to let the others persons choices that truly did hurt my feelings consume me with anger.

I have a husband who loves me beyond measure, children who believe that I am the best thing since sliced bread, a God who loves me and forgives me no matter what. My life is complete. I refuse to live my life in chaos. For this reason, I will always forgive so my life has peace.

Wishing you peace in 2013.
