Do you hold grudges?

I know I do. I have a very good memory, especially for people who've wronged me. I may forgive, but I don't forget because it is, after all, a life lesson.

But now that I've read OCEANS APART, those grudges I've been holding seem more than frivolous.

"I asked myself how it would feel to be Michele,” Karen Kingsbury writes in her Reader's Note, “to have a husband I loved and to suddenly, in a moment's time, be asked to forgive him for something as monstrous as unfaithfulness...

Suddenly, I knew I had to write it out, process the idea by placing it on the pages of this book. Only then would I see that, yes, forgiveness is possible. Even when the greatest wrong of all has been committed against you...”

In keeping with our inspirational Monday theme, tell us how you've found the strength to forgive, whether it is something big or small. Inspire us to do the same.
