I had dinner with some friends the other night who have five young children — four boys and one girl. I asked the oldest boy: “So, on an average day, how many times do you have to forgive your brothers? Maybe like seven times a day?”
He giggled hysterically and corrected me: “Noooo… a LOT more than THAT!”
So I asked him: “Ok, so how many times a day DO you have to forgive your brothers?”
At this, he scratched his head, thought for a moment, tallying everything up — and then said, with the profound wisdom only a child could reveal:
“Every time.”
How many times a day should we forgive? Every time.
There’s no number. No limit. No conditional statements necessary. Just…
Every time.
