Dirty Windows

Seed of the Day: Forgive someone who is in need of your forgiveness today.

Good morning world, it's Wednesday! We trust your week is off to a great start and if not, there is no better time than the present to get things going in the right direction! While the temperature certainly has begun to drop in certain parts of the country/world, we hope you find warmth and positive energy here with us. See what's in store ahead!

If this is your first time to the site, welcome! We LOVE having new visitors and friends, so feel free to check out the site, see some of our other seed ideas and spotlighted organizations, and drop us a line at oneseed365@gmail.com or tweet us at @OneSeed365. We look forward to hearing from you!

Forgiveness might be one of the toughest things we have to deal with in life. It takes character and maturity to look beyond the emotional response to an offense and judge the heart of a person above the effect of their actions. Often in times where we feel wronged, forgiveness is the last thing that is on our minds and hearts. We feel angry, hurt, mistreated, and a myriad of unpleasant feelings can flood us at once.

Yet there is something unique about forgiveness. It not only cancels the emotional debt we feel owed as a result of being wronged, but it frees us from carrying around resentment in our lives so that we don't see others in the wrong light. If you've ever tried to look outside through a dirty window, you know that what you see isn't an accurate picture of how things really are. That's what forgiveness does for us. It cleans the windows of our lives so that we can see people how they really are, and not through the "dirty window" of anger and pain.

Do you know someone who needs to be forgiven today? Perhaps it is you that needs to apologize to mend a relationship. For today's seed idea, be willing to both admit you were wrong if necessary, or forgive someone who has hurt you. We promise that this willful, intentional change of emotion will make a difference in your life.

Thank you for helping us make a difference, one seed at at time.
