"Forgiveness is . . . a key part of our return to happiness in our Father's kingdom. At one time or another we may become offended or wronged, and this can become a stumbling block that may take us away from our eternal goal, which is to return to the presence of our Heavenly Father. The Savior taught us the pattern for forgiveness as He taught the Lord's Prayer. He said, 'And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors' (Matthew 6:12). We can see from this that to be forgiven, it is conditional upon us to forgive others. This at times can be difficult when the wounds are deep and have been endured for a long time."

This post is true! Thus the reason for my comment if you would please ask Lee if he has ever forgiven me for the "treat" I left him in the freezer in Flora, IL. Hope all is well. Sjoblom
I think everyone needs work on this particular thing. Sometimes it isn't so much the forgiveness part as it is to ask for forgiveness or to let the other person know you forgave them. It is hard to face the situations and admit you did wrong or to tell the other person you forgive them for doing wrong- cause the other person might not be thinking they need forgiveness. I need it from some people and need to give it to some people... sometimes the hurt gets in the way of it all.
