We all have heard of family feuds that have lasted for years or generations, even to  the point that no one remembers what the original grievance was about.  History records the stories of Romeo and Juliet’s families, the Capulets and the Montagues or the Hatfields and Mccoys.

Even the bible tells stories of Jacob and Esau, Leah and Rachel, and Joseph being sold into Egypt by his brothers.  These stories all illustrate that jealousy can lead quickly  to many other unkind and hurtful choices.

However, some people chose forgiveness and that forgiveness allowed healing and love to flow unrestrained.

In a world filled with contempt and contention,  how can we teach our children to use the power of forgiveness to free them from the negative feelings of anger, frustration and contempt ? How can we choose to forgive more and be jealous less?

Join us in today’s discussion as we look at how we can create experiences that will help teach our children not only WHY they should forgive, but also HOW they can forgive.
