Pretty much since I have been a Christian, I thought I’d believed in forgiveness. I would say amen every time someone would say that it is important to forgive. I would pray for people to forgive others and I would even forgive others for the little things they did to annoy me, like if someone stepped in my way when I make my way through town with my cane or if someone steps before me in a queue.

A massive thank you to my dear friend Sarah Tummey for writing this week’s devotional.

There was complete and uninhibited fellowship between the Creator and his creation. Adam and Eve were innocent and childlike, having no knowledge of good or evil.

There was only one rule they couldn’t break.
