Third sunday in advent

Sometimes, it’s harder for us to forgive ourselves than to forgive another. At times, it’s a challenge to see that is what’s needed. Thinking over misunderstandings with a friend, I realized that we have forgiven each other, and I was still going over the old situations in my mind. What did I need to learn from these that I’d not already figured out? Nothing, I quickly realized. Why not, I asked myself, think over the good things in this friendship and reinforce those in my mind and heart? That is what I did and what I taught when I managed teams in broadcasting -- build on the good stuff. Takes discipline, personally and professionally. But, for me, anyway, it’s become part of the preparation that’s included in the idea of advent
