Thank-You Michelle. Never thought of your concept, BUT as you indicated, forgiveness only takes ONE...

Just what I needed to hear at this time in my life. Praise Jesus.

welcome dear Michelle!! This is beautiful and practical, applicable to strifes and tensions everywhere - truly grateful - fujiko

Thank you, Michelle, and welcome to this wonderful Daily Lift series. I love your ideas, and I'm going to try a bit of forgiveness every two minutes today.

Welcome to the Daily Lifts Michelle and thank you for your message of forgiveness. I am so grateful to say that in forty-two and a half years of marriage that level of forgiveness, in fact nothing like it, was ever necessary! There was just love and companionship and support and sharing together.

The secret to a happy life: Forgiving "seventy-seven times seven"? Matt. 18:22.
Forgiving once every 2 minutes when we're awake will keep us free from holding someone’s guilt in our thought, not a nice thing to have.
If marriage is a long term workshop for spiritual growth, don't we want both parties to be free from guilt?
ESPAÑOL
El secreto para una vida felíz: Perdonar "setenta veces siete"? Mat. 18:22.
Perdonar a una vez cada 2 minutos mientras estemos despiertos nos mantendrá libres de guardar la culpa de otro en nuestro pensamiento, nada bueno para guardar.
Si el matrimonio es un taller para el crecimiento espiritual a largo plazo, no querríamos que ambas partes estén libres de culpa?

Merci beaucoup, Michelle!

Thanks Michelle What a great idea for tackling chronic illness.Fear and anger can be overcome.

Thank you for a very interesting and thoughtful LIFT.

Thanks Michelle, welcome! Lovely ideas to work with.

Welcome Michelle to the Daily Lift contributors and thank you for doing the math, I will focus on that today as I travel in and out of the traffic in Boston.

Hi Michelle,

Welcome and thank you for that 2 minute goal. I had never thought of the 7 times 70 from that perspective. Even forgiving people from the past, when their acts come to thought, is included in that act of forgiveness; every two minutes.

Forgiveness isn't at all easy especially when someone really hurts you. My dogs teach me daily about forgiveness. There was a period when I felt I was always scolding my dogs for tearing up the garden plants. Each time they would come back to me with a hug and kiss. ALWAYS.

Some time ago I was preparing to photograph an event. I had been told that someone who had done me much wrong was going to be there and I would have to photograph them. I had been working to forgive them and was almost there.

A week prior to the event I tried on a suit and realized it was not fitting well. It was then it hit me that I was walking around with this excess baggage over this person and that I needed to get rid of that heavy weight of anger. Immediately, like butter off of a hot knife, I felt all of the residual pain and anger melt away. I felt so much release and joy. I have never returned to the old way of thinking.

A week later as I was getting dressed I reached for a shirt and realized it was too large. I have various sized shirts so I took it off to get a smaller size to realize it was my smallest size (14 1/2) shirt. Needless to say the suit fit perfectly that day.

Thank you for this timely reminder to forgive. Much Love.

Dear Michelle, thank you so much for this message!

That is beautiful. It always keeps that Christ image foremost in thought! Thank you!

Dear Michelle, thank you for this message, what I need today!

thank you Michelle I enjoyed your timely reminder about how important forgiveness is in Marriage. Very excited for your appointment to the lecture board. Enjoy

Thank you for this very apt and practical lift. Paul said we must pray without ceasing. Forgiving seventy times seven must be forgiving without ceasing; ourselves and others. Do we believe our neighbour is not worthy of forgiveness? Than we may believe at some point that we are not worthy of forgiveness either. And yet Jesus Christ said "Neither do I condemn thee"; and man, God's expression and our true being is already "Pure and upright, whole and free". Thank you for clarifying the temptation to believe that our neighbour is somehow not making any spiritual progress, or will not arrive at the perfect understanding of their spotless, God derived nature. Of course they will, and so will we!

Lovely and wonderful to realize as we continuously forgive we are forgiven. Thank you so much.

Marvelous reflexion !
Thank you for sharing this powerful truth, that sets me free!!
Marcia

Thanks for this timely reminder A powerful thought for the day . Thank you Michelle .

I love the idea of forgiving, in effect, every moment, - and constantly recognising therefore man's true spiritual status. This is the overflowing gratitude that sees there is nothing ever to forgive or condemn. Thank you for such a wonderful lift!

Vielen Dank !!!

Thanks very much for this good message today - and for reminding us of Christ's loving command regarding forgiveness.

I can't speak to marriage from experience, but I know that prayer without ceasing, just as forgiving without ceasing, is silent. I strive never to make another of my brothers or sisters, in heaven or on earth, feel guilty at any time. Once having lost temperance, virtue and truth a young man bars his doors against further robberies.The Bible says "forgive, and ye shall be forgiven." Luke 6;37 & Misc. Writings by Mary Baker Eddy page 201.

Michelle,
Glad to have a new "Lifter"...Welcome! Thanks for the wonderful lift, and, thanks to all my fellow "Lifters" to their gr8 comments. This lift was quite timly and helpful for me. Just what I needed for the start of a full day ahead...!
Thanks!

So true!: in the workshop for spiritual growth called marriage patience is helpful; forgiveness is essential!

The forgiver is ultimately making a pact, with himself, to release the hurt, the anger, and the angst over another's learning and growing curve.

Thanks for this clarification of forgiveness - to be willing to release our frustration over another's learning and growing curve that isn't as fast as we would like.

Thank you Michelle. I can't hear this message often enough. Forgiveness frees us. The Christ showed us how to do it, therefore I can.

A very warm welcome to you, Michelle, and thanks for a much needed message. I have also been praying constantly with "Divine Love corrects and governs man" which was in last week's lesson on Love (S&H 6:3), It's not my responsibility. I just need to express more love, patience and forgiveness.

Thank you!

Thank you so much for this important reminder and WELCOME Michelle, so good to have you on board!
I love the Daily lift, it brings us all together as a world wide family, where we can "meet" and share our true feelings with our circle of friends. Much love to ALL

This is great and so à propos for me in my actual working place. Thank you !

This message is wonderful, thanks!

Thanks. I needed that today.

En toda relación humana se hace necesario tener el espíritu de Cristo, Él no necesitó decirle a alguíen te perdono, estaba implícito en su accionar Su conocimiento era Amar para eso vino y para eso venimos nosotros, para amar, cuando el Amor lo llena todo no se hace necesario perdonar, es más no hay perdon, porque no hay rencor, enojo, intolerancia, sólo es una condición humana no la realidad del ser. porque el Amor divino el único no lo permite, pueden venir pantallazos de intolerancia pero si estamos revestidos como dice Eddy: "Con la panoplia del Amor el odio humano no puede tocarte" la intolerancia ajena no puede hacerte intolerante y eso va para todas las relaciones humanas que conllevan en sí mismas... la confusión, y a la Biblia me remito, no tengo otra guía... salvo la Ciencia Cristiana.

Muchas gracias Michelle, que bello ser inspirados cada día a compartir nuestros quehaceres diarios.

Very nice... thank you for this message! And welcome to the Daily Lift!

Thank you very much. Lovely msg.

Thank You for that great insight! Great food for thought!

Michelle, thank you for this truly wonderful Daily Lift. So in agreement with you. Forgiveness is the way forward! When we forgive, the shackles just fall away. And though I thought I'd been doing pretty well, I can see there's still more work to be done. A "forgiveness" every two minutes means a full time occupation! It will certainly take some doing, but what better thought would we have to be thinking than to love someone? Anyone? Every one!
Thank you again Michelle, and welcome to this amazing Daily podcast series; thank you, Nate and the team; the BoL and lecturers; and our very forgiving Daily Lifters.

Welcome to the Daily Lift! Thank you for exploring forgiveness which to me connects with the Beatitude "Blessed are the meek,....".

Thanks, Michelle, for “Marriage and forgiveness…how many times? …seventy times seven…once every two minutes…it isn’t always easy but…in the workshop for spiritual growth called, ‘marriage’…forgiveness is essential…” And by expanding the definition of “marriage” to any relationship in which we say “I do,” we also expand our “workshop for spiritual growth.” Our first, last, and always relationship is with God. In my own relationship with God, I had to learn to forgive when I didn’t get what I prayed for. Talk about a workshop for spiritual growth! Sometimes through tears, I’d ask, “Why not?” To turn that question born from disappoint into honest inquiry, I had to first forgive God for not giving me what I prayed for. I had to forgive myself, too, for not praying aright (Science and Health, 15). Forgiveness clears the way for an open mind, receptivity to learn Life’s lessons, whereby we overcome the belief in sin, sickness, and death. In the world, we’re always in some kind of “I do” relationship - personal (friends, family, spouse, children?) and/or professional (“married” to your job?). It’s key in all relationships to extend forgiveness graciously (and really mean it!) and to accept forgiveness gratefully (and really mean it!). “I’m sorry,” comes with the built-in promise, “and I won’t do it, again.” Good is natural. Promises kept, build trust. Trust is the foundation of healthy relationships. “May Christ, Truth, be present at every bridal altar…” (Science and Health, 65).

Thank you Michelle and welcome! That was a powerful lift with practical notions of the spiritual gift to ourselves of forgiveness and love.

Your message is wonderful, and a great way to introduce your thought(s) to the Daily Lift audience. Forgiveness is so important, in a marriage or elsewhere in our experience. Welcome!

GRACE FOR TODAY! THANKS AND FOR # 28 LORI'S COMMENTS

Very helpful, thank you for sharing.

Greetings, Michelle! What good news to hear you are lecturing...we will look forward to seeing you here again. And thank you for doing the math...every two minutes; this i will remember when the need arises. Every two minutes... yes! much love, NJ in NJ.(Nancy Jane)

Thank you and welcome to the Daily lift. I shall begin with myself. DB

Thank you, Michelle. for your precious and beautiful Lift.

Thank you! I just heard in your Lift the reminder to be alert to aggressive mental suggestions and forgive -- let them go.

Forgiveness: refusing to be hypnotized by the mirage of material sense and sticking to Truth and Love. Thank you so much for this fresh inspiration!

Thank you.

Welcome to the Daily Lift, Michelle! And Congratulations on your new role as a Christian Science Lecturer! Loved your insights into Forgiveness every moment! Each person is on a very personal journey to working out their own salvation and it truly is between them and their Higher Power. We never know what people are working out and sometimes they have suffered a lot of hurt and shame in their lives. Sometimes the only way they can protect themselves from feeing this pain - or from enduring more pain - is to shut others out through non-forgiveness. What I can do is to gently put them in God's hands and give them the space to be healed by their Higher Power.

Welcome, Michelle, and thank you for such a beautiful lift. It goes right to the heart of our daily existence...give us grace for today, feed the famished affections.

Thank you! we all have learning curves and what a nice way to put these ideas that call us to love.

Tres bien. C'est bon. Merci beaucoup.

7= perfection, completeness. Multiplying that by all our fingers/thumbs makes it absolutely perfect. 10= Opening our hands/heart/mind to all of God's gifts to us and to giving/sharing them.

The Ten Commands, Sermon on the Mount, and our Manual give us practical ways to succeed forgiving as a way to experience/express/enjoy the Kingdom of Heaven within us. As part of Jesus' teaching of forgiveness, The Matthew Code brings us together humbly, lovingly, prayerfully to listen to God and empathize and edify/celebrate each other as Christ perfects our forgiveness and grace, learning to perfectly love each other. If it takes me more than two minutes to silence personal sense, listen to God, hear/live the complete treatment and I start over in two minutes, with the assumption the last treatment was complete, that doesn't leave time/room/thought for what has typically distracted me. So I needed your lift. Thanks.

Michelle, so wonderful to hear your voice after reading your blog for some time now! Welcome to the Daily Lift and what a precious addition you are! LOVE the idea of marriage being a workshop for spiritual growth--thinking how the whole concept of family is just that. And church too! How sweet to take this idea of forgiveness into our human relationships all day long! Every two minutes. A forgiving thought doesn't condemn, criticize, or meddle, does it? Jesus, our dear Master, has much to say to guide our day, doesn't he?

Simply inspiring! How wonderful this is to remind us that we can pause every 2 minutes to forgive. I will begin this prayerful exercise by forgiving myself first. It's harder to forgive myself and very easy to forgive others. Your ideas have provided a fresh approach to forgiveness & prayer. Thank you!

Thank you.

This Lift is home run! I need to listen to this everyday...

Thank you.

"...in the workshop for spiritual growth called marriage...." what a really uplifting
concept. Thank you so much and a warm welcome to you Michelle to the Daily Lift.
You are a blessing.

Welcome, Michelle! Thanks so much for this very thought-provoking Lift. You really hit the nail on the head with this one. I always think of marriage as the lab course of Christian Science.

Oh, I love you "almost 40 years married in CA"! Amen to that! Loving all the comments. Thank you all for the warm welcome.

"Marriage is unblest or blest, according to the disappointments it involves or the hopes it fulfils" (57:31-32). This boils down to the word Expectation. I found dozens of references to the word expectation in Mrs. Eddy's writings, each one worthy of further consideration.

We can't compare our marriage to another anymore than we can compare married people. A good marriage in one case is never the same by exchanging places with one of the married partners. Marriage is not about "me". Marriage should never be based on our expectations of another's involvement or contribution. Our happiness, joy, satisfaction and spiritual growth should never be dependent on another's word or works.

Marriage and church membership are workshops to reaching heaven. So any situation that involves working with others, is a perfect opportunity to work on setting realistic expectations, not of others, but of ourselves. Marriage is not a court room for judging, condemning or counseling, but a theater of expression for Life and Love. When expectation and expression are in sync, the journey is harmonious, but it's unrealistic to find harmony simply by raising our expectations without first raising our own expression of the Christ.

If we find ourselves having to forgive frequently, perhaps the solution is not lowering our expectations but raising our expression. “Love is reflected in love” (17:7). Jesus is said, "go thy way", not go MY way. Perhaps this is the greatest act of forgiveness.

Forgiving is strengthening one's self. Practice makes perfect.

Thank you and welcome to the Daily Lift Michelle. I love the articles you have written in the periodicals and enjoy "moving" with you to France. Forgiveness must be the charge for today. After doing my prayerful work this morning, I picked up the Amplified Edition of Christian Healer by Mary Baker Eddy and opened to page 60 where Mrs. Eddy practices forgiveness in this experience. Man is always employed with this "til 70 times 7" which equals every two minutes during our waking hours and helps us to be patient with others' growth and to remember that we too, would want to be forgiven for any hurt or wrongs we have caused either knowingly or unknowingly. Much success to you and blessings for continued good articles and "Lifts".

Thank you Michelle how FREEING..
forgive ourseves & everyone in our lives!
Michael thanks for indepth comments!

Just what I needed this am. Forgiveness and the removal of fears associated. Thank you.

Blessings abundant with this lovely nudge to consciously forgive every 2 minutes. thanks Michelle and all who have shared your insights, quotes, personal experiences and gratitude. The music is lovely. Thanks.

Merci et bienvenue Michelle ! Heureuse d'habiter à environ 80 km de vous et de porter le même prénom mais avec un seul "l" (normal : vous avez déjà les 2 ailes de l'ange alors que je n'en ai qu'une !!). Pardonner toutes les 2 minutes revient à dire qu'il faut TOUJOURS pardonner, qui que ce soit et quelle que soit l'offense. Mais il faut le faire sur le plan spirituel, en voyant le 'fautif' dans sa vraie nature d'enfant de Dieu , car sur le plan matériel, nous risquons parfois d'encourager la personne à continuer à se mal comporter se sachant si facilement pardonnée, et nous nous exposons alors à subir de nouvelles blessures. Toutefois, même sur ce plan inférieur, nous pouvons croître dans l'amour et l'intelligence du coeur si nous essayons de comprendre les motivations de l'agresseur, sa souffrance, ses déséquilibres, son manque de discernement, etc. Nous pouvons alors mieux l'aimer et l'aider. Le pardon nous est de toutes façons bénéfique car il nous libère des mauvais sentiments tels que la haine, la rancune, le désir de revanche qui sont des poisons pour notre psychisme et notre corps et nous font régresser dans l'amour du prochain et l'évolution spirituelle. Jésus nous exhorte à pardonner avec la vision juste, à aimer notre prochain comme nous-même, lui et nous étant créés à l'image et la ressemblance de Dieu, enfants parfaits de Dieu, tous les 2 aux mêmes titre et niveau, dans notre Moi originel. Ainsi nous "lavons les pieds" de l'offenseur, nous le sauvons avec nous.

I am so grateful for the Daily Lifts. They truly are gifts from our practitioners and lecturers and others who love Christian Science and find it so helpful in our daily lives. What a blessing! Thanks to you, Michelle, and to the whole Lift team.

Excellent and so true!

This was just the lift I needed at just the right time. My husband & I were going thru a rough patch the last couple of weeks. This is such a great reminder...thanks

Welcome,and thank you for blessing our "lift family' with the importance of forgivness.Forgiving ourselves and others has tremendous healing power.It is a God given expression of love.

thank you Michele! Perfect! and welcome as well!

Tank you Michael........also Bev #51 and love to everyone

Thanks for this lovely, thought-provoking lift. I am a mother-in-law who has prayed many years for a loving relationship with my daughter-in-law. My son and I are very close and my two grandchildren are precious, loving college students. Your thoughts helped me so much today ... especially, "patience is helpful, forgiveness essential"! I found myself feeling hurt by comments made to me, and tearfully, asked God for forgiveness just this morning before listening to your lift. What a light came into my thought with the every 2 minutes forgiveness idea and releasing the hurt...marriage and challenges with beliefs about in-laws certainly is a workshop for spiritual growth. Thank you so very much.

Thanks, Michelle,
My husband and I celebrated our sixtieth anniversary a few weeks ago. Your message is a wise one, and last weeks Bible Lesson on love was sooo good! St. Paul's message is helpful. "Love....keeps no record of wrongs," in the Responsive Reading is a good one to remember. It took me a few years to learn it. We have had so much good unfolded to us. I am so grateful for Christian Science and the very dedicated workers who "keep abreast of the times."Much love and gratitude to all of you.

Welcome, Michelle to our Daily Lift!! I so enjoyed your thoughts and ideas on forgiving...wow 2 minuites a day is good. thanks for doing the math! My husband and I have been married over 50 years, and it is truly a working ground for forgiving. By forgiving every 2 minutes, the problems don't have a chance to blow up! I loved the remarks of the other Daily Lifters, they also inspire. I look forward to your other Daily Lifts, Michelle. Thank you

This lovely lift reminded me of the words of hymn 163, "Jesus, what precept is like thine: Forgive, as ye would be forgiven; If heeded, O what power divine, Would then transform our earth to heaven." When we forgive, ourselves as well as others, we open the path for healing and true spiritual growth.

What a lovely reminder that forgiveness only takes ONE! Thank you so much.

merci Michelle, Michele #69 et Michael #63 for helping me learn more about what it means to forgive. I'm thinking I have to forgive 70x7 times until once is enough. So many 'transgressions' boil down to just one expectation on my part: that my spouse do what I want or be who I want...but I am debt free (thanks again Michelle) and as such express the purity, whole heartedness and joy of Love.

OMG! Thank you for this healing message/treatment.

Welcome Michelle and thank you for the inspired message of today.

I cherish this new way of looking at forgiveness!!

"Forgiveness only takes one...the forgiver is ultimately making a pact with himself to release the hurt, anger and angst over another's learning and growing curve."

Thank you!!!!

I am divorced, but this is Priceless advice! Merci!

Thank you Michelle for the beautiful thoughts and inspiration.

Thank you!

Welcome, Michelle, thank you for your 1st Lift. I'm not sure number of minutes equals times an offense is made by a single individual, but I like your point. I wish I'd heard this years before. Though dearly loved, there were times....! Now I must use this to forgive myself for failing to quickly forgive during some of those times, and that's a tougher task for me. This is one to share with others. It's one for me to use to forgive anyone who offends. If all from every source were added up, your minutes math would certainly apply! I'll be busy forgiving. I don't get TV or radio reception in this mobile home, and don't have cable, so my news comes from a daily paper published a few counties away, a local weekly, and the Internet. Whether clicked on, or not, headlines can contain offensive suggestions enough to need to use the minutes math in this Lift most days. For this, too, on with the Beatitudes! This is an important Lift. Wouldn't we love to see the load of errors forgiven float away from Earth today? My view of the sky now has many harmless looking clouds covering most of the blue, but not the sunshine. They give me an idea of what we'd see, if our world-wide forgiving thoughts were viewable. #34 Nelly, Yes, to have the spirit of Christ! #40 Nela, thanks for extending the concept of "marriage" for this. #63 Michael, as usual, well said! #69 Michèle, Thanks for reaching out while forgiving. To Malcomb, missed you, prayers and Hymn #350 for you!

RIGHT ON! she said. I had just finished listening to the Daily Lift on Marriage and Forgiveness. I liked it so much, I wrote all the key words down, backtracking often to be able to transcribe the message. I had been reading all the great comments and gaining additional insight. I was still on the site. A woman in shorts raced into the Reading Room, kind of anxious, and said she needed a prayer, right now, as she had to catch the trolley. I said smiling, that “I have just what you need, a 2 minute one, you can listen to it.” She started to protest, saying “You don’t understand...(I am turning it on and it is beginning to start) “this is about a marriage problem. “ DL started and the words marriage came out. she heard them but was in mid sentence) “I need a prayer on marriage.” I said that this was about marriage. She heard more and her eyes got big, and we both laughed at the ‘coincidence’. She listened intently, hearing all the beautiful words on forgiveness. As I had already written down the words, we could talk about them. She said, “RIGHT ON!” She shared about infidelity, confession, begging forgiveness, and self-loathing. We talked about forgiveness, and Love, correction, refraining from future acts, no self-condemnation, forgiving oneself continuously, without ceasing, accepting forgiveness, and more. She thanked me so much for the prayer and "it was perfect", as she ran for her trolley and said, "I'll be back".

Wow, San Diego. So grateful you were there. And that you shared the fruits here. Again, loving all the comments and all the commenters! You are all doing some powerful, heavy "lift"ing today.

Welcome! This is such a common need. Until we forgive, we can't return to our peace. When we consider this as a workshop, it's easier to "Cut them some slack, and move on."

Hooray #89!!! NOW THAT is truly sharing Christian Science with the community! Right On! I only wish every Christian Science Reading Room was on a Trolley Line!

Thank you! My husband and I have shared our lives for 54 years and your inspiration will help me to make our life together even more harmonious!!

Beautiful and relevant! Merci!

I so connected to your thought, Michelle, that forgiveness only takes one. I used to think before I was in C.S. that if I still had a good feeling for someone who did me wrong, friend, or husband. that I was sort of "wishy washy" like and rather "surfacy." But learning in C. S. that I was really obeying divine Love in letting go and forgive. I now know that leaving it up to God to correct is the best way. Thank you. Joyce Meadows

Many thank Michelle for reminding us all, that in reality there is no evil, no condemnation, and therefore in Truth, nothing to forgive. "Then let us win our brother man,/ And glorify our God above." (Christian Science Hymnal #163).

Thank you Michelle. This idea of not ''keeping score' is so important in a marriage!

My son and his girlfriend, of 18 months, got married yesterday, July 30. They have been through a lot of pain and grief from "family relationship" challenges. Neither one of them are interested in a 'religious approach' to solving their problems, but they felt this commitment would help them to 'take a stand' concerning their freedom to choose their own way in life. The entire wedding and subsequent celebration came together in less than 24 hours. Of the three special guests, besides myself, was a Christian Science Practitioner (dear, family friend), a Lutheran Minister (my son's former Jr. H. S. Principal), a man who always affirmed my son's potential, and a special friend who loves and adores the Creator of the Universe. All of us were aware of the peaceful harmony, and joy, and love both from and to this young couple. Now, with your beautiful and ever-so practical 'Lift,' Michelle, I can share with them the blessings, available every moment, that anyone can use to 'uplift' their marriage and family relations. Thank you!

Refreshing, practical, achievable.
So glad to hear you're "on the road!"

Thank you Michelle. 70 x 7 always meant to me for every moment to be lived in continual forgiveness. That is, to live love and only love, moment by moment. I know people who do just that! We all are married to this Love, and to one another, eternally, ever without separation. Now and always. Such gratitude certainly is riches. Sharing is key here on earth---as it is in heaven. Think within the principle of mathematics how harmonious each number or combination of numbers interacts with any other. Their marriage is always---PERFECT.

100 : Yes ! Nous ne sommes pas 'mariés' avec une seule personne, en fait nous le sommes avec chaque personne et en premier AVEC DIEU, puisque NOUS SOMMES UN ! PAS DE SEPARATION ! Je viens de penser que le chiffre "7" symbolise la perfection. Donc, "70x7" multiplie la perfection. Pardonner "7x70 fois" signifierait donc que Jésus nous demande de 'rétablir' la perfection de chaque être, d'annuler ainsi l'ERREUR qui nous fait croire au péché et à l'imperfection qui n'existent pas en Dieu. Nous devons rétablir le Royaume de Dieu sur la terre ! "Sur la terre comme au ciel....." . Bonne journée remplie d'Amour pour tous !

Thank you #97 Kristen. What a moving story to share. I wish the young couple all the very best as they set off on this new journey of Love's divine adventure. Good on you for supporting them and offering them the Lift.

I laughed to myself when I read the comment #12 by Troy of Barbados where she points out that her dog, no matter what you did to it, would always come back with total love. I have been thinking for weeks how dogs, no matter how they are treated by their owners would just express love, much more than 70x7. I truly believe that our pets are role models for true forgiveness.

Thanks and welcome! Great DL and so true in the 'workshop of marriage'! Loved it!

What a vexing day I have been experiencing, only to come back to this daily lift, and read through some comments, I don't think I could be "more" grateful than I am right now, for the spiritual lift I am receiving.

I love to hear the spiritual growth in called marriage wherein patient is helpful and forgiveness is essential. Thank you.

Thank you. Great to hear. Welcome.

Thank you Michelle. :D

Well doe, Michele, both as a new lecturer and also with a wonderful message for handling antyhing other than forgiveness. Belated contribution as I listened twice as it has been so helpful.

Very helpful. Thanks a lot!!

This lift was exactly what I needed to hear, when I heard it early the following morning. I must have listened to it a dozen times in a row. I especially liked the part about how the slow burn of anger is fear that one will have to put up with "x" forever. That applies to other sometimes frustrating family relationships for me as well.
(Welcome BACK as a lecturer!)

A 101 Michele de France,

Merci bien! Grace a vous, J'ai compris la signification des chiffres: "de 'rétablir' la perfection de chaque être, d'annuler ainsi l'ERREUR qui nous fait croire au péché et à l'imperfection qui n'existent pas en Dieu."

To my way of thinking, being a Parent is the most important of all human jobs. A child will be a reflection of his parents thoughts, and will either be a plus for society or a minus, just on the way, the child is brought up. So one of the rules for parenthood is that the spouses get along with each other and how they deal with each others opinions. Harmony between the spouses will garantee harmony amongst the children. Likewise, absolute forgiveness, no matter what occurs, will not only bless the spouses but also their children.
