FORGIVENESS...

"Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free, and realizing you were the prisoner." Max Lucado

Forgiveness seems to be something that is universally difficult for all of us. Here are two stories where the act of forgiving healed not just the receiver but the giver.

After World War II it was not surprising that there was bitterness between the people of the Netherlands and the people of Germany. It had even effected the close knit Mormon members in both countries.

Then something miraculous happened that touched the hearts and lives of everyone. Listen to this true account.

LOUIS ZAMPERINI
passed away July 2, 2014

The world lost a true hero last week with the passing of Louis Zamperini, Olympic athlete, bomber pilot and survivor. His story is told in the book UNBROKEN and a soon to be released major motion picture.

Zamperini is remarkable for many reasons, one of the greatest being his ability to forgive those who were so cruel to him. Listen as he tells how "forgiveness" saved his life.

HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY!

TURNING 60

Turning 60 was huge for me. It was like a window opened and I could see that I had a second chance. I was on my own, I had lost 70 lbs, I had a good job and my family was raised. I decided that for once I was going to matter to me!

I transformed myself from a "frumpy" housewife in my husband's sweats to a woman who values herself on every level. It's been fun and I've learned a lot.

I will be turning 65 this summer and now when I speak to the "mirror on the wall" each morning he says,

"My Dear... you may not be the youngest, the skinniest, the smartest or the most beautiful woman in the world, (by the way, she doesn't exist) but you ARE looking good. Put a smile on your face, be careful what comes out of your mouth and get out there!"
