Holy Father,
It takes two people
to carry a grudge
that is this big.
Help me to lay down
my end.
I know my actions
are my responsibility,
but I need
Your serenity
to see that my actions
can include a refusal
to engage.
Instead of revisiting old hurts
and reliving old wrongs,
let me turn to You
and the Love
and Forgiveness
that You make available
to us all.
Amen

Let’s just say that I learned a lesson this week from someone very young. There is a reason Christ loved being around the children. So fun, so happy and so very wise.
