You can forgive...

Post by Linda on May 7th 2010, 11:08 am

"You can forgive someone almost anything. But you cannot tolerate everything...We don't have to tolerate what people do just because we forgive them for doing it. Forgiving heals us personally. To tolerate everything only hurts us all in the long run."
- Lewis B. Smedes

I tend to tolerate easier than I can forgive.
Thought provoking quote Linda, thank you, something maybe I need to work on.
