I didn’t stand up and yell that, either. Can I have a cookie?</i><br /><br />Preaching is easier? I don't know but it's an interesting discussion to have. I think sometimes the person listening feels that it's damaging the person who can't/won't forgive by holding onto something - but they can't know whether it is or isn't. Maybe it's something they're still working through in their own mind, and at times it feels like they're repeating the same thing over and over again... but that's how they get through it, painful as it can feel to the listener at times. <br /><br />I hope the service had morning tea afterwards and you got your cookie - you deserved it. :-)lsnnoreply@blogger.com
