Rev. Liz's Talk: "The Garden of Forgiveness"

Dear Beloved One,

What are you watering in the garden of your consciousness? Regret? Resentment? Guilt? Or are you ready to plant something new?  We all have moments we wish we could redo. But what if we stopped judging yesterday’s decisions with today’s consciousness?

Something may have happened to you, but it does not have to define you. Forgiveness doesn’t erase the past; it changes our relationship with it. 

This Sunday we explore the gifts of forgiving others and forgiving ourselves. We’ll consider what we’re ready to give away, what we’re ready to give up, and what becomes possible when we stop carrying what no longer belongs to us.

Join us as together we explore forgiveness as spiritual gardening: pulling the weeds, releasing what has completed its purpose, and creating room for love, peace, and possibility to grow. Sometimes the miracle isn’t that the past changes. The miracle is that we change our relationship with the past. And so it is.

With great gratitude and love always,

Rev. Liz
