Forgiveness

Few months ago I was helping Helena to settle down on her swing and was trying to secure a piece of plastic thingy in between her thigh so she won't fall down. I guess I screw it in too tightly and it "pinched" her flesh. No blood but there was some mark. I was feeling guilty and kept saying "sorry" to her and hugging her. Well she didn't have niagara falls tears or make a big hooha. *phew* Later when Henry (her dad) came back and saw the mark and asked what happen, he jokingly asked her "you want me to scold Godma for you?" And what she said next sort of took me by surprise..."No! She already said sorry!" Wow...And she's only just turned 3. If only every adult can be as forgiving as little children this world would be a much better place to live in. I certainly have a lot to learn about forgiveness from this child.
