I’ve been thinking a lot about the upcoming july 18th holiday, and I think that it is a perfect time to show my support for the holiday by saying a prayer. I’m sharing my thoughts on the topic in the form of a sign, which I have done several times recently. I really enjoy these signs because they are easy for me to do and they allow me to share my thoughts with others at a level that I can’t always do on my own.
I’m not saying you should pray all the time, or anything like that. Im just saying that you should pray and show your support for the holiday by doing something that helps you in your efforts to take care of the people in your life (not the person you’re praying for).
It’s amazing how much we can learn about the human condition by just asking the right questions. I am one of those people who really doesn’t like to take anything for granted, so I can’t help but give thanks to those who have made asking the right questions fun for me.
I love it when I know I am going to wake up to something new so I can put it all in perspective. I am not saying you can’t get angry at God for letting us not see our sins, but we can make time to ask for forgiveness. The best thing to do is to get into the habit of asking forgiveness for those things that we have done and not asking for forgiveness for those things that we know we shouldnt do.
I still think in life, before we are in heaven, we are just going to have to ask a lot of questions. That is what we are for. We are just going to open ourselves up to things that many people wont have to. A lot of people would say, “well you asked for forgiveness, you are asking for forgiveness”, but I don’t think so.
We have to ask ourselves, if we have done something wrong, if we have asked for forgiveness for something that we have done, would it be okay to keep doing it? No, that is why there is a process. Most of us will be in the same boat as Colt and that is that we will ask for forgiveness. But we can choose to not ask for it. We can choose to say no or we can choose to say yes.
We are asked to forgive ourselves because we have done something wrong, but there are other ways to handle forgiveness. We can choose to forgive ourselves with our other selves by not asking for forgiveness.
Most of us will be in the same boat as Colt and that is that we will ask for forgiveness. But we can choose to not ask for it.
This is a great one because a lot of us don’t realize that we are in the same boat as Colt. There are those of us who will forgive ourselves and those of us who won’t. But we can choose not to forgive ourselves if we want to. We can choose not to ask for forgiveness because it feels good to have done something wrong, but we can choose not to ask for it because it feels bad.
We all have a little bit of the former and a little bit of the latter. Most of us have had a little bit of the former, as we’ve felt the pain of being unable to have a relationship that is meaningful to us. And then there are those of us who have had a little bit of the latter, because we’ve felt the pleasure of our addiction to our drug of choice.
