I have learnt

-

  •  I've learned that it isn't enough to be forgiven by others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. 

  • I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world will not stop for your grief.  

  • I've learned that background and circumstances might have influenced who you are, but we are responsible for who we've become.  

  • I've learned that you can't make someone love you, all you can do is be someone who can be loved. 

  •  I've learned that no matter how old or wise you think you are, life never stops teaching.

Help me,” with her eyes tight shut. “Help me to love this girl, as if she were part of Karl come home. I prayed for him to come back. Now he has—in his two little daughters and in this gentle girl that he loved. Help me, God, to know that.” My dear sisters today I would like to share an inspirational story about Christ like forgiveness and Love. I pray that this story will inspire you . Karl and Edith Taylor lived in a small apartment in Waltham, Massachusetts. They lived happily for 23 years and they loved each other very much. Karl was a government warehouse worker. In February 1950 the government sent Karl to Okinawa, Japan for a few months to work in a warehouse there. Although he was in the habit of sending to his wife some small gifts and postcards wherever he was sent to work, a short time after Karl went to Okinawa, hardly any postcards or gifts reached her.

The unnamed woman who washed Christ’s feet

Do you know what the first act of hospitality was in New Testament times when a traveler came into a man’s house? Mostly they traveled by foot, they wore sandals and the very first act of hospitality was to draw a container of water so the guest could wash his feet. In the Bible days the people came to people’s houses, not by limousine or by car. They came by foot path. And they walked on the same foot path as the cows. And so, every now and then, when they stepped down, you know what they stepped in. And this was evening. And usually, that’s why people would wash one another's feet.

That’s why they did that. B...
