I tried to add this blog two nights ago but I was in need of blog construction.So a Big thank you to my friend Kavin for helping me here it is.
Tonight as Taylor was reading his daily devotions to us like we do every night the ending prayer was awesome! It reads: Dear Lord, even when forgiveness is hard, help me be a person who forgives other people, just as YOU have forgiven me. Amen
Yesterday, when Taylor got off the bus he was in tears. And me being a momma bear with daddy bear also in the truck we instantly started asking a million questions of what was wrong and what happened. As Taylor tried to compose himself enough to explain what happened I told Justin to go to the next bus stop to talk to the bus driver. As we pulled up I ran up to the doors and the bus driver said, "Taylor was sitting with a boy who was trying to pull the tape off the back of the seat and Taylor to him that we aren’tsupposed to peel off the tape, we'll get in trouble. Trying to help this little boy to not get into trouble and the older brother was sitting close and yelled at Taylor and told him to mind his own. Taylor was trying to tell the driver what was going on and she moved him up the front so he could explain what happened and Taylor was crying thinking that he was going to get into trouble. The boys tried to say it was Taylor but another little girl or someone said that it wasn’tTaylor. The driver said that she told Taylor thank you and that you are not in trouble and then she had a talk with the other two boys. Tonight after Taylor read the devotion, I re read it to my family. It reads
A wise person is patient. He will be honored if heignores a wrong done against him.-Proverbs 19:11 ICB
Is forgiving someone else an easy thing for you to do or a hard thing? Taylor answers, "Well, if they look me in the eyes and I can see and feel that they are truly sorry then it’s easy but sometimes if they don’t look me in the eyes it’s hard to forgive them." If you're like most people, forgiving others can be hard, Hard, HARD! But even if you’re having a hard time forgiving someone, you can do it if you talk things over with your parents, and if you talk things over with God. I looked at Taylor and said, "Do you understand what that means? He replies, "Yes." I said, "Let’s say one day I said something to you and it hurt your feelings you can go to daddy and tell him what I might have said that hurt your feelings and he can help you come up with a way to talk to me about it if you think you can’t come to me or tell me first. I said then you can pray to God and ask him for the strength or ask him for guidance on how to approachme if you still feel like you need help and when you feel okthen you can come to me and say," Brittany, can we have a talk?" I said, "Me and you will go to a quiet place and you can tell me what I said or did to hurt you so that I know and that I can apologize and talk it out. We are family and i love you no matter what. And he smiles and shakes his head and I said same goes for if daddy or someone else hurts your feelings we can talk about it and pray about and figure out what needs to happen. He said, "OK." with a smile. Then the book continues to read, do you find forgiveness difficult? Talk about it and pray about it. You'll feel better when you do.
I think even if you don’t believe in God this was a great lessonfor anyone. Forgiveness is a hard thing to do and like anyone else I do struggle with forgiveness but when you look at it from a Childspoint it’s truly amazing at how much forgiveness a child can have. And with this devotion tonight Taylor feels a lot better about what happened yesterday and forgives the boys who tried to do him wrong.
