FORGIVENESS QUOTES

Why are forgiveness quotes on a family reunion websites?….because in all families at some point or another there are times of disagreements, hurts, upsets, and offenses, etc. If we allow these things to grow and fester, don’t confront them head on, and don’t operate in a spirit of love and forgiveness then this can potentially cause issues when the family gets together at the family reunion. This could have a trickle down affect on reunion attendance as well i.e. one family member or a group of family members don’t want to attend the reunion because they are at odds with another family member or others in the family.

Forgiveness is of paramount importance in all aspects of our lives including our family life. In families both individually and collectively we need to consider the follow: Is there someone or a situation that needs to be forgiven in your family? If so, then take some time to search your heart and soul…forgive, forget, make amends, apologize, restore the relationship(s) and walk in peace.

Now you should understand why I have forgiveness quotes on a family reunion webiste. You simply can’t have family quotes with forgiveness quotes when dealing with family. With that being said, yes, forgiveness quotes are on a family reunion website!
