ACIM Workbook Lesson #288
“Let me forget my brother's past today.”
I spent some time visiting with old friends whom I hadn't seen in two or three years. It was a joy-filled afternoon, remembering good times we'd shared together in what seems to be another lifetime. I was particularly delighted because they seem to have forgiven many things they had deemed to be unforgivable when we last visited. Most of these actions had occurred years, even decades, before, and the strain of long-held hurts were taking their toll on my friends. There had been a bitter edge in their voices and the strain of pain showing around their eyes, but this last visit was entirely different. None of the old pain was discussed and they both seemed more relaxed, happier, and accepting of life, joking about circumstances which in the past were bemoaned. I'm seeing this yielding and forgiving more within myself and, also, in others. I Hope you are, too!
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“As the crude footprints of the past disappear from the dissolving paths of the present, we shall better understand the Science which governs these changes, and shall plant our feet on firmer ground.”
