Does forgiveness mean reconciliation?

When people say or do things that are hurtful it is good to get to a point where we can forgive that person. Forgiveness, only takes one person and gives us the chance to live in freedom and free to live our lives with blessings and joy. But, reconciliation  takes more than one person and is the greatest joy because we can come to a point where we can trust again and allow the person that has caused so much pain to again share in your joy and blessings. I heard this on the radio while I was driving on Friday and it spoke to me.

Christmas Gathering

Just want to get the word out in enough time that the family Christmas gathering will be December 8, 2012, we will eat about Noon. We will gather in the Coxs Mills Community building.  Come early and talk and share a hug or two.  This year food will be all about breakfast. So biscuits and gravy, eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, pork chops. Fruit and cereal. Pancakes and toast or bagels and donuts. Coffee, juice and Hot Chocolate to drink. If you eat it for breakfast then bring it to share with the rest of us. If anyone else has an idea please share with us, your feedback and help are appreciated. You can post here or call Freda or myself if you have questions. I hope to see you there. Until we meet again, love and prayers. Ann
