How Did He Know!?!?!

So today I finally had my very first interview with our bishop in our new ward since we've moved into the area. I thought I was going to pass out in the hall waiting for him to call me into the office. While I was sweatin bullets in hall this sweet,kind young lady calmed my nerves when she looked at me and said, "Ma'am, you have something on your head," she then reached for it and smiled then said,"Oh, never mind its just a Halo!!" I knew right then and there that something amazing will happen to me today!!LOL!! So I turned away from my reflection before people saw me talking to myself and entered the bishops office. It was so relieving in away. I was able to really talk to him and relieved some of my tension and stress I had within me. I let him know mostly everything that was on my mind and how forgiveness was something that was very hard for me to deal with. I'm not perfect and I know that, but repentance is something I have been doing and I have been encourage to do. Through it all I cant forgive nor forget the some of the things in my past. Bishop Jackson then stood up with a big grin on his face and walked over to a shelf near him and reached for a book that was sitting on the top shelf. He asked me if I have read this book as he leaned over the table and handed it to me. It was called," The Miracle Of Forgiveness", by Spencer W. Kimball. I was shocked that he had this particular book so conveniently there, like it was just for me!! I told him no and he told me to keep the book and read it, but to start off with Chapter 19. He thought this would really help out allot with my forgiveness process. When I opened the book to chapter 19 this was the first thing I read at the top of the page as an introductory;

"O man, forgive thy mortal foe,
Nor even strike him blow for blow;
For all the souls on Earth that live,
To be forgiven we must forgive.
Forgive him seventy times and seven;
For all the blessed souls in Heaven are both forgivers and forgiven."

It was like it was written just for me. I have yet to read the rest of the book but I know that from receiving this book, blessing do come in all things,shapes ,sizes and in all places, when we least expect it. I've also learned that I need not to worry about what people will think of me if I say or do things they don't necessarily agree with but for me to work on just me and my family. I honestly feel like the Lord is giving me all the tools I need to return home to him with an eternal family and now all that's left is for me to take these teachings and tools move forward with my life and grow from this experience. Anywho I have a few mores hours to spare before I'm off and I thought to myself what better time to read then this. I have no distractions and I have to stay awake, otherwise I'll get fired but that's not the point!!LOL!! I'm going to start reading this book and hopefully it will help me understand what the true meaning of forgiveness is and why its so important. Until my book is done or my fingers touch another key board,I'm out... Good night to all my fellow bloggers!!!LOL!!
