  Today, Jews celebrate Rosh Hashanah But I, in Jesus, celebrate Hannah: My granddaughter from Atlanta! Autumn is about to begin Yet, a year ago, time stood still: There arrived Hannah Madelyn! Grandma loves your happy blue eyes  Your giggly laughs and smiles You are such a cuddly little pumpkin My sweet and cute Hannah Madelyn! May you and your big sister Emilia Grace Always be best friends  And be close, come what may  For pure love surpasses any distance Though Grandma may be physically absent Jesus can make miracles come true: He helps Grandma’s love reach you So, in spirit, she is always present! Have a Happy, Happy Birthday, My adorable and loving  Hannah Madelyn!

To understand what forgiveness truly means, it is necessary to understand what truth is. Some people claim their truth is the truth. How do they know? They just choose to claim their perception of the facts as their truth , and,  therefore, they swear by it.  To wear the banner of truth as one perceives it is a dangerous path. It can cause misunderstanding, conflict, and, ultimately, chaos. It is a path permeated with false perceptions, misconceptions, and unforgiveness. Why should Christians forgive? Because God has forgiven them first. So, is there still unforgiveness in your heart? If there is, examine yourself. Are you seeing the truth about the facts or just what you believe to be your truth ? Are you choosing to hold on to unforgiveness to justify your self-pity and remain stuck in the victim/orphan mentality? Are you still blaming others for your failures or lack of discipline? Wallowing in envy and jealousy but doing nothing to fulfill the dreams God wants you to fulfill?
