"Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future." ~Paul Boese
Today was an amazing day. Full of blessings, each of the three events I participated in brought much healing in various ways. Specifically, tonight my mind is on the prison visit and a conversation I had with one of the inmates. We were talking about forgiveness and I said that he needed to forgive himself. His crime is horrible but the Creator wanted him to be free was my suggestion. He had served his time and needed to let go and move on with his life.
I could tell he does not think he is worthy of mercy or grace. I know what he did cannot change the past but I have a sense that he could change not only his future but that of others.
I need to head to bed. Emotionally this day was amazing but I am quite exhausted and on the brink of daylight savings time, I best sleep.
Peace,
Suzanne
