Foregiveness

If you are on your way to the goal and stop and throw stones at any dog that barks at you, you will never reach that goal"
Fyodor Dostoevsky- From Fr Joe's Newsletter, ​([email protected])

Verbalizing my resentment yesterday of different people and being really mad at myself for doing that!
I carry resentment like that in my head, and then it bursts out. I don't feel like I am resentful, but then there it is a poisoning the air around me. Clearly and ego thing! 
So, pondering and praying this morning, how can I think differently about these people? 
These are people who are having an inward struggle with themselves. They are at war in some way or another with their own peace. I need to pray for them, which seems obvious; however, I need to not take what they are projecting as a personal attack and realize it is the spillover from a war that is going on inside.
​If I understand the dog is barking from pain, then I am not tempted to throw stones.  By God's Grace!

    Blog Quotes...
    I have piles, on my desk, by my computer, in my bedroom, in bookshelves, of quotes from a variety of authors that hit me as being  DEEP THOUGHTS.
    All of these scraps of paper are to me, things to pay attention to, things to learn from, and most of all food, in a spiritual sense.

    It occurs to me today, to put them somewhere to  access them, and something you might like to think about too.  

    So -Merry Christmas- a gift to me certainly, and I hope to you!
