Extend to Amend

Fathers, reach out to your sons/daughters. Sons/Daughters, reach out to your Father(s). Touch one another by a phone call, a letter, an arm or hand. Say..."I'm sorry, would you please forgive me", "I repent, what can I do to amend our relationship" or simply...Dad...Son...Daughter, I hadn't said it in a while, but I want you to know...I love you. You might need to force something from your mouth and say..."I forgive you", "but I don't know what to do next, so until I know let's just start there" and each person be thankful for the new beginning.

Truth be told from my own testimony, I thought my Dad left us but learned later he wouldn't be allowed unless my mother got into a tight spot. I also learned he wanted to make whatever it was he did...right with his spouse, but his spouse wouldn't, perhaps couldn't forgive. She still suffers from that today....nearly 50yrs later. Many hearts are broken and just a contact, a response, even just something sent without a response let each person know...you are still important...

If you don't/can't do it for yourself, then do it for the other person. Amend...it is the next phase and the opposite side of Repentance which is still shiny because it hasn't been used much. You may look through a jail glass or sit by a grave...but forgive, repent and do what you can to Amend. Let's tarnish the other side of repentance with touch.
