Forgiveness

I don't know if you had a chance to watch the ESPY award show on ESPN the other night. There were some great comedy bits. My favorite was the bit with Will Ferrell as Jeff Vuvuzela. Classic comedy.

The best part of the show, however, was the Arthur Ashe award for courage that was given to the family of Ed Thomas.

There is a link if you click on the title for Aaron Thomas' speech at the ESPY's. He challenged the athletes, musicians, and other famous folks in the crowd to use their celebrity for good and do the right things. It was very inspiring.

Here is a link to a great video about the whole story...

Take the time to watch it and reflect on the power of forgiveness. Would we be as strong in forgiving those who have wronged us in such a profound way?

Blessings,
