Guest guest Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 .. HOW HEAVY IS OUR LOAD? Let us take a potato and write on it a name of a person who has 'fallen from grace' with us. Do this for everyone who has upset or angered us and whom we have never been able to forgive. When we have finished, let us gather all our potatoes and place them in a sack. Keep this sack next to us at all times: Take it to work. Take it to lunch. Take it everywhere we go. And also always have it with us at home. How long would it take for us to grow tired of carrying this burden around? How long would it take our potatoes to sprout into other things, fester and smell? Would it not be nice to be free from the weight, stench, and constant reminder of hurt, disappointment, heartache, and anger? By hanging on to things that are unpleasant, we create more anguish for ourselves. When we forgive someone, we free ourselves from an oppressive load of negativity. Forgiveness allows us to create peace and bliss in our lives. So shall we have a look dear brothers & sisters, and see how heavy is our sack of potatoes? Jai Sai Ram!
