When we talk of forgiveness we often think of those great stories in the paper or inspiring posts on Facebook that bring us to tears. For example, the true story of the humble Amish community that responded with mercy toward the family of a man who tied up ten young girls, killing five of them and then himself. Or there’s the father in my community who just lost his son and son’s girlfriend in a head-on collision. The driver was a family friend, and the grieving father’s Facebook post of forgiveness went viral.
