CanCanCanCanyouyouyouyouforgive someforgive someforgive someforgive someToday we hear a story about a man who wa

gift. But then, he would not givea gift!And what was that gift? For-giveness!

The man in the story was a servant

who owed a lot of money. When he

asked his master if maybe he could

forget about what he owed, the mastersaid okay. He forgave him. He called it

even. But then, this same servant

found somebody who owed him

money. He yelled at him, Pay what

you owe! He even sent him to prison!

Even though his master forgave him, this servant couldnbody else.

Every day, even every hour, God forgives us for the wrong

He wants us to forgive other people when they do someth

Can you do that? Can you think of one person who did so

to you? Can you try to forgive him or her? Can you be likethe story and call it even?
