FORGIVE AND FORGET
"Unload your baggage--forgive and forget."--Prescy Bermudez, Ilokano writer, citing part of a homily of their parish priest in the Catholic Church of San Manuel, Pangasinan, Philippines.
We have unloaded many times, have forgiven many times. But the mind is not a blackboard-- you write something on it, erase it and it is no longer there. Can we say, can we say, we outgrow painful incidents, hurtful swords, learn from them and morph into better persons in the image of the unseen Spirit?
