A piece about forgiveness.

Little Boys can be annoying.
Ok. I say that as if I am not a boy.
But my gender does not matter at the moment and maybe I will talk about gender in another video.

As the oldest of 9 children.
I have some younger brothers and some younger sisters.
Being the oldest sibling, I am often a baby setter.
I love baby setting my younger siblings.

Currently I two sweet little sisters that I babysit quite a bit.
They love going for stroller rides around the house.
And they love going back and forth on a swing set.
And they love doing both of these thing for what seems like hours on end.
But life isn't always fun and games.
We have a few little boys in our family.
Little boys can be quite annoying at times.
And they seem to enjoy making their little sisters scream.
Scaring them with caterpillars, toy snakes and toy guns.

But little boys can also be sweet.
My little brother Daniel just ran out here to my room and gave me a piece of candy.
Besides the Bible my family is my biggest source of inspiration.

So let me get to the point of this video.
Family conflict is common.
There may be times when you hate your siblings or your parents.
They say you don't get to decide what happens to you, but you can decide how you respond.
It is in times like these when you have a choice to make.
Will you continue to hate your brother?
Or will you forgive?
It is ok to hold on to anger for a while.
But there comes a time when you have to let go of your anger and forgive.

I guess didn't make this video to say much.
I do just want to say though...
That I love being a part of a large family.
And I want to share a few verses with you...

"Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath" - Ephesians 4:26

"Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift." - Matthew 5:23-24

There are many more verses I could share on this topic but I will just share two more:

"Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven." 
- Matthew 18:21-22

Well that is about it for today.
In case anyone is wondering it is extremely hard to get angry with annoying little boys they are always so sweet.
But maybe you don't have sweet little brothers, maybe you have annoying big brothers, they can be sweet too.
If family conflict is something you are experiencing in your home.
I just want to encourage you to forgive and forget.
Forgiving and forgetting can be hard.
But it is worth it.
It is the hard things that bring you guys closer together.
And at the end of the day the only thing you should be remember is the good times.

Well that is it for today.
