I don't know if I could have done what my dad and grandma did. I grew up, as I said, aware of the tragic brokenness of the situation but also very aware that forgiving was just what you did. Period. That's not to say I haven't often struggled with it myself, but my commitment to seeking a felt sense of it in myself (and for myself) has always been there.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537269687117463579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854241370473188657.post-19799715725464118802015-01-18T15:47:03.894-08:002015-01-18T15:47:03.894-08:00wow, sage, thank you for sending me that!wow, sage, thank you for sending me that!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537269687117463579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854241370473188657.post-13158257937838822882015-01-18T04:34:18.951-08:002015-01-18T04:34:18.951-08:00This is a powerful story (and an example of how so...This is a powerful story (and an example of how soon we forget).http://www.plough.com/en/articles/2011/february/christian-de-cherg%C3%A9-a-story-of-forgiveness<br /> sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5854241370473188657.post-24890570980005746482015-01-18T04:29:53.607-08:002015-01-18T04:29:53.607-08:00Wonderful testimony.

I grew up with a remarkable parental paradigm of forgiveness in front of me----my father forgave the man who murdered his beloved father. I am grateful for his example, though of course sorry for the fact of its existence, if that makes any sense.

I have mixed feelings about it, because it forgives a delinquent sectarian ideology and because I am not as brave as Christian de Cherge was.
