Yours was your happy day while his was a sad one. These days when people hurt me, I kinda try to put myself in their shoes and make excuses for them so the hurt won't be too much for me to handle. Thank God you are happily married now and thank God you have found it in your heart to forgive him. God bless you dear.Didislimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12528969478684408275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455597900159756651.post-39602099104472065912014-07-19T17:23:50.027+01:002014-07-19T17:23:50.027+01:00In June 2006/2007 - cnt remember -, some1 close to...In June 2006/2007 - cnt remember -, some1 close to my family really hurt us.

Have you ever considered that he was ...Blessings...<br />Have you ever considered that he was not suppose to marry you? It would have been nice if he had started with an apology when he called, just to let you know that he cared. But hon he lost his mother and you yourself said he is the first son and had to see to everything. I feel you, this was your special day, God see that it all worked out well. Just for a moment, put yourself in his shoes (just so you can understand) and you lost your mom, do you think you would remember anything? You would be swallowed up with grief. Just saying.<br /><br />Forgiveness its not easy, but its not for the other person really but for us, the ones that hold to the issue and cant let go, it is so that we can be free, that we can truly live and move on.<br /><br />Have a blessed week.Rhapsody Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03520384490148575528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455597900159756651.post-46990152696805133112014-07-10T23:23:34.417+01:002014-07-10T23:23:34.417+01:00Hmmm...I had to just read this...I read through th...Hmmm...I had to just read this...I read through the whole thing and I was having heart burn putting myself in your shoes and imagining that I was the one going through all you did shortly before your wedding and not even being at rest hours before it...God blesses people with their <br />better halves no doubt cause your hubby sounds just like mine..It is so easy for mine to let go of painful issues but me...heylelelele! Being with him for 4 years and counting has helped me become better in the art of letting go.<br /><br />Sometime back I was very upset with a member of my family and normally when I'm that upset I just remove that person from my life. I do it in my mind, I do it physically...I do one or both, usually both. <br /><br />One day I had a dream and in it I was walking to my house (father's house at the time) and at the junction leading to the street I saw this person sitting and I said my greetings and as I continued on my journey, she called out to me and asked why I hadn't forgiven her...I said I had but she insisted I hadnt. I woke up shortly after and then searched my heart really well...truth is I thought I had actually forgiven her. But the dream was so piercing that when I woke up I revisited the issue and found that I was living in unforgiveness. The days that followed had me asking God to help me truly forget and forgive for good this time.<br /><br />We used to be really close...I learnt almost everything from her and I loved her so much because she was so multiskilled..could sew, could knit, could weave, could sing, told wonderful stories, really cared...she was the best but one day she hurt me really bad..what she did damaged my image, I was young but I never forgot because it was assumed that because I was just a teenager it dint matter. I felt this person took my love for granted and in teue african religion she never apologised instead she allowed me face the consequences of the issues she accused me of. Things I was innocent about.<br /><br />I understand why God had to give me that dream.lol.I never knew how deep into my soul the unforgiveness had sank..I could still be walking about today not even knowing that I hadnt truly forgiven her.lol<br /><br />She is my grandma and now all I focus on is all the things I love about her. I'm glad she got to meet my daughter, I'm sad our relationship came to a halt at the time it did because now she's old and well she's old.lol.we lost time but Im grateful for the past before the incident. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing Ema!TRULYAdlynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622148664806407527noreply@blogger.com
