I am a christan Man..Forgiven of my sins by the Grace of God. Made me start to think about Forgiveness for the guys that used me as a kid..I have in fact forgiven them and ask God to find them and save them also...I will never for get what they did but how can I acept what god gives freely and hate anyone...

What is forgiveness? To me, it's canceling a debt. Christ canceled my debt when I obeyed His Word. I've found that having my debt canceled helps me to learn to cancel other debts to me, but it is not an easy thing. The processing leading up to that forgiveness is what takes time and work. Forgiving perps is a tough one. But I know that forgiveness is for my peace of heart, not for them.

Well to bring you all up to speed with my cancer.....My sister was a match for a bone marrow doner. I will be geting my second transplant using her stemcells..this process takes 2 months for me... with the radiation and some chemo. If secssfill it will cure the cancer. so please keep me in your prayer for the next few months....My schdule will be coming out around the 5 of sept.
Thanks Guys Gary

Hi Gary,

Prayed for you today... and will keep you in my prayers. Thanks for sharing... I do not know your battle with the cancer, but our God does... Hang in there! We love you.

My Best to you and You sister

Gary,

My thoughts will be with you. I seem to remember a quotation that fits here. My apologies if I don't remember it quite right or all of it.

"May the Lord make His face to shine down upon you."

Brian

Gary,

Though we have never crossed paths here on MS, I am so inspired by your courage and faith. What an unselfish act of love on the part of your sister, you are truly a blessed man. I will keep both you and your sister in my prayers. God bless you and I hope that you have a successful and speedy recovery.
