Isnt it amazing how someone can give you such a HARD way to go, In school!!!!!!! But then turns around and acts like nothing ever happen. Like..... you all are so cool and such Good friends! Wow! Life is crazy. I thank GOD for giving me a forgiving HEART!
Everyone needs a good hater. I use it for motivation.
I never diss them, just realize that I have grown in my relationship with GOD. The old me would have told them where to go. The new me accepts them as is

Not only a forgiving heart but also a level of maturity, I look back on all the mess that was said between people that I did and did not like in HIGH SCHOOL and I praise God for moving me pass it. I have long since let that mess go and pray that the wrong people did to me and the wrong I did to people will be placed in the sea of forgetfulness. Remember the good, because that is the only thing that will last.
"Do not put your trust in man"..."expect the worst, hope for the best"...and remember, they are all God's creations too. So, we have to love and forgive our enemies as we too want God's love and forgiveness..."forgive them Father, for they know not what they do"..."let your enemies be your footstool" because "vengence will be Mine, saith The Lord." These statements are why I don't hold grudges.
As a boy living on seawright, there was a woman who had a chicken coupe behind our house. I remeber there was this one chicken that had a black spot on its head. It caught my attention because of that spot. Well one day I went to that coupe and saw a chicken laying dead. It was that one with the spot. What had happened to it, I questioned? Was it sick , or did a cat or dog get to it? Well the woman let me know that the other chickens saw that spot on its head and the pecked at it until they killed the chicken. It was killed by its own kind. Humans are alot like chickens, we may find some spot on a person and pick at it until we kill a part of them. That part could be their self esteem, trust in other, beleif in anything good, or their desire to forget and forgive. Hopefully we don't stay chickens forever. To anyone I may have offend or hurt, past or present, I offer my sincere apologies... Marquis
Life throws it's share of curves and pits into everyones path, its what you do with it that determines your value. Looking back 20 some years to school, there are a lot of things I wish were done different by others and just as man or more that I wish I had done differently. That's called life and progression as we should all be looking back only to get an idea of how not to repeat the same mistakes while building on past success. Many of the kids then were living from their parents pockets with the assumption that it was theirs and now that reality has hit, they are a lot more humble now! Instead of bringing up the past, let it remain where it is and deal with the person that exists now instead of the one you remember.
In the end, it requires a lot more of the person that tormented you to come to you on the humble than it does to accept it! They are at least willing to show that they can change and possibly have done so already. If you should choose not to, then you have just become the person you are holding the grudge against after all this time.
I feel you Greg but I feel like that deserves a conversation ( initiated by the tormentor) acknowledging how they were wrong, you cant just forget the past and trust that change happened, I need to see, hear and feel change, then we can be cool.
