You have the ability through your writing to make the complicated simple and your solutions to complex issues are nothing short of a miracle. Your simple advice, wisdom and insight show open the window to changes that we can make in our lives and the rewards are amazing. Keep up the great work. i am a fan.

Definitely carrying this into Lent!

So instead of zeroing in on that hurt I now turn it around and think of many good things they brought to myself and my family in years past. It makes it easier to forgive them which frees me from all the negativity.
Thank you for allowing me to look at this from a different mindset.

In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus say , “Do you not realize…?”.

I think your reflection will have a domino effect today. I sure more than a few people are going to say something nice because of what you’ve written. Job well done.

I guess what’s strange is that most people realize paying a compliment or helping someone in need is the right thing to do. Both parties generally feel good afterwards. Yet, for one reason or another, we don’t say or do it.

So, to answer Jesus, “yes”. Now the what with prodding of Steven, “Well…?”.

Thanks Steven,

Mark
