The only way to learn forgiveness is to be betrayed. You might understand the intellectual concept of forgiveness, but you will only learn how to truly forgive when someone has done something that requires you to love them and let it go. Life demands these hurtful experiences for you to learn how forgiveness feels, it could be not other way. If there is anyone in your life that you must forgive, instead of seeing them as someone who has hurt you, try to see them as someone who was sent to teach you forgiveness and thank them for this previous gift - then forgive them and let it go.

Blackout
Yesterday the city was doing work on our block and cut he
power for two blocks in my part of town. It was out for about 30 mins before my
neighbor called the city and they told us it might not come back on until 6am.
So I shrugged and found my headlamp, blazed some candles and made dinner. It was
really nice actually because it reminded me of huddling in our house after
Hurricane Ike and Rita. How we didn’t have power for a week, but the mall did
and how everyone would just go and plug in their cell phones. How my mom cooked
ALL the meat in a few days and we had to eat nothing but pork and beef for 3
days, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I remember going to the FEMA trucks to get
ice and just hanging out in the heat. Life is so much simpler without power.
