Forgiveness

My mom is an incredible example of someone who forgives like our Savior does. She never holds a grudge and because she doesn't she is happy. She always sees the good in others and that helps her in all her relationships. She is truly one of the most forgiving people I have ever met. Below is a silly picture of the two of us, I know she will forgive me for posting it. :)

There is a quote by President Hinckley that I love. It is, "The great Atonement was the supreme act of forgiveness. The magnitude of that Atonement is beyond our ability to completely understand. I know only that it happened, and that it was for me and for you. The suffering was so great, the agony so intense, that none of us can comprehend it when the Savior offered Himself as a ransom for the sins of all mankind.

It is through Him that we gain forgiveness. It is through Him that there comes the certain promise that all mankind will be granted the blessings of salvation, with resurrection from the dead. It is through Him and His great overarching sacrifice that we are offered the opportunity through obedience of exaltation and eternal life.

May God help us to be a little kinder, showing forth greater forbearance, to be more forgiving, more willing to walk the second mile, to reach down and lift up those who may have sinned but have brought forth the fruits of repentance, to lay aside old grudges and nurture them no more."
