description: An inspirational short story -
  The Blessing of Forgiveness – Forgiveness? Bah-humbug, who needs it? For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
  Like a warm blanket, Susan Hunter’s dislike of her father and his abandonment of her and her mother was a comfortable place to remain. But like a cancer difficult to excise, unforgiveness held in the heart too long becomes a festering wound that spills over and affects every relationship. Confronted with holding on to hatred or embracing The Blessing of Forgiveness, Susan comes to a crossroad and has to make a choice.
