To give is to receive ...

Forgiveness is not a matter of feeling superior, of feeling sorry for our parents because they didn't' know any better. It comes when we understand that as humans we all do the very best we can, and we can't ask for more than that.

The law of Love is based on abundance; we are completely filled with Love all the time, and our supply is always full and running over.
