“When Forgiveness Smiles at You”

I was feeling the weight of my past this morning for whatever reason—or for no reason at all. So, I called some friends who helped me greatly. However, what helped most was that Forgiveness smiled at me.

I was talking to a 12-step friend on the phone. The phone was on speaker, and my sweetheart was helping me fix breakfast. “Sometimes I can’t believe that anyone can forgive me for all the harm I’ve done in the past,” I said to my friend on the phone. My wife bent over my phone to get my attention and gave me a smile that would have lit up a major city. She wiggled her fingers by way of greeting and reminder. There I was, feeling remorseful about my past wrongdoing, when I was in the presence of Forgiveness.

My wife knows everything about me and my past these days. Much to my amazement, she is still with me. She still loves me. And she has forgiven me.

It is hard to maintain a gloomy spirit when Forgiveness smiles on you and wiggles her fingers at you.
