We used to play the gallows game in pairs as children. One of us thinks of a word and draws as many small squares as the word has letters. The other has to guess the word by guessing the individual letters. If he guesses a letter correctly, it is entered in the corresponding empty space. If he guesses a letter that does not appear in the word, the other player gradually draws a gallows with each unsuccessful attempt, with a person hanging from it. If the drawing is completed after about 10 unsuccessful attempts, the guessing player has lost. If he guesses the word before completing the drawing, he wins. This game reminds me that we are often keen to count other people's mistakes and at some point say: that's enough. Peter once said the same thing to Jesus when he asked: Is it enough to allow a person to misbehave 7 times? Jesus says: No! Don't even start counting, just forgive. What does this request trigger in you?
I wish you an extraordinary day!
