We were flying to a meeting. I was in the middle
36 .I found that the young woman sitting next to me was very
37 and deep in thought. Then I asked her where she was from, where she was going and
38 she did.
She was a student and had been attending
39 in Poland-----the homeland of her father. Then she told me sadly that her father had 40 . She had chosen to attend college in Poland
41 her father’s wishes and their relationship had been
42 .They hadn’t forgiven each other
43 he died.
She seemed so sad. I looked at her, trying to
44 some words to say. I asked her if she had forgiven
45 for not realizing her father’s dream. She answered that she couldn’t forgive herself and felt so
46 .Slowly, I began to tell her about forgiveness. I encouraged her to
47 that because I believed her father wanted that too. She should forgive herself
48 how awful she thought she had been.
I told her about
49 I had done as a teenager for which I had felt guilty for many years. How I was
50 with the choice of forgiving myself or to
51 feeling guilty for the rest of my life. I had
52 to forgive myself . The light in her eyes went on. She began to understand that she was
53 forgiven and could forgive herself. She could be
54 and happy.
How about you? Is there anything in your
55 for which you feel guilty?
