Forgiveness help make community a better place

When we take a little time to look around the beautiful area we live in, we can't help but thank God for His wisdom and power in creating it.

If we all could treat each other with kindness and truthfulness, this would be the best place on earth to live.

Each time we treat someone else in a way that we would not want to be treated, we take away from the overall atmosphere of the community. Unfortunately, this is something we all do.

Can anything be done to reverse this negative trend? The good news is that it has already been done. The answer is forgiveness.

We celebrate the birth of a Savior who died and rose again so we could be forgiven. If we believe and accept His forgiveness, we can pass it along.

Each time we forgive others, we add to the overall atmosphere of our community. It truly can be the best place on earth to live.
