You are responsible for your own actions and attitudes only and if you have done all that can be done, you have done your part.<br /><br />2) Forgiveness is not the same thing as continuing a relationship like it was before. You can do the work of forgiveness, but that doesn't guarantee that things will go back to the way they were before - in some cases it shouldn't go back to the old way. I will be posting a blog tomorrow that looks at "counterfeit forgiveness" that addresses this issue in a little more detail.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18186585220798634272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17400640.post-38790347223474832122011-01-09T22:15:46.092-05:002011-01-09T22:15:46.092-05:00Thanks for the 2nd Date shout out Derek!

And then # 2.)How do we continue a relationship with those that continue to hurt? and should we continue to forgive? Some relationship you can not just walk away from, like family or workplace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
