A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 200,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.
A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY










Welcome to Warm Fuzzy Wednesday at the Finest. For those who start counting the days on Monday until the weekend, we're halfway there! So we're here to banish those doldrums and make you smile inside! Please feel free to post sweet graphics and/or little stories that make you feel all warm and fuzzy - or just come by and give us a smile. Only two more days 'til the weekend!

Hi Dita.

The PTA meeting lasted until 7:30. Hubby fed Marissa her dinner. When I got home I helped her with homework and then it was time for a bath. I finally got her to bed at 8:30.

I think I have found all of the deductions that I can take. I’ve been going through receipts .... hoping to find a few that I missed. :)

An accountant prepares the tax return. I don’t want to try it. Not really complicated but I would prefer someone else calculate depreciation, etc.

The Challenge Of Forgiveness
If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. —Matthew 6:14

In the heat of an argument, my wife came up with an acute theological insight. We were discussing my shortcomings in a rather spirited way when she said, "I think it's pretty amazing that I forgive you for some of the dastardly things you've done!"

What struck me about her comment was its sharp perception into the nature of forgiveness. It is not a sweet platonic ideal to be dispersed in the world like air-freshener sprayed from a can. Forgiveness is achingly difficult, and long after you've forgiven, the wound lives on in memory. Forgiveness is an unnatural act, and my wife was protesting its blatant unfairness.

A story from Genesis captures much the same sentiment. The brothers that Joseph struggled to forgive were the very ones who had bullied him, had cooked up schemes to murder him, had sold him into slavery. Though he went on to triumph over adversity and though with all his heart he now wanted to forgive these brothers, he could not bring himself to that point—not yet.

I view Genesis 42–45 as Joseph's way of saying, "I think it's pretty amazing that I forgive you for the dastardly things you've done!" When grace finally broke through, the sound of Joseph's grief and love echoed through the palace. What was that wail? It was the sound of a man forgiving.

For Further Study
The heart of true forgiveness is so much richer than we realize. Read What Is True Forgiveness? at www.discoveryseries.org/hp071

We can stop forgiving others when Christ stops forgiving us.

Bible in One Year: Judges 1–3; Proverbs 4:1-17

Thanks, Amy - I love that kat! :) Left yesterday to run errands and we had company drop in last night, so I didn’t get back after all.
