"An injured friend is the bitterest of foes."Thomas Jefferson
As we celebrate the holiday season, now is the time to seek out and forgive family, friends and co-workers who may have wronged us. It is also the time to ask for forgiveness from those who we may have hurt or wronged through the year.
On the eve of Christmas, it is time to remember that forgiveness is the embodiment of the entire holiday. For those of us who follow Christ, who are already forgiven of our sins, we must embrace forgiveness if we are to follow a Christ-like life.

As I saw on a local church billboard:
"All saints have a past
And all sinners have a future"
Allowing an injury to fester for another day, week, month, year is abhorrent to the Christian life. Seek out and reestablish your relationships with your loved ones.
