LEARN TO SAY SORRY

*WHY CAN'T YOU SAY "SORRY" EVEN IF... ?
 *Son*: Dad, I want to get married
*Dad*: First, tell me you are sorry
*Son*: For what?
 *Dad*: Say sorry
*Son*: But for what? What did I do?
*Dad*: Just say sorry.
 *Son*: But, What have I done wrong?
*Dad*: I said, say sorry
*Son*: Why?
*Dad*: Say Sorry!!
 *Son*: Please. Dad, just tell me why?
 *Dad*: Say sorry.
*Son*: OK Dad, I am sorry
*Dad*: Uhun.. You've just qualified for Marriage.
         When you learn to Say Sorry for no reason at all,*then you are ready to get married! I can never forget this. It was in Rev Omar Pela's Church. He told a story of how on a particular morning, his wife stormed into the room with a moody look on her face. Being a gentleman, he asked, "Sweetheart what's wrong"? She said, Nothing! (You know when a lady tells you "nothing") So He pressed further, "You don't sound fine dear". She replied, I said I'm fine! He said at that moment he tried to search his mind if there was any way he could have offended her previously. He couldn't remember such. So, not to cause any tension at all he decided to continue his study in church office. As he picked the car key to leave, the wife blurted, "So you are going to leave without showing concern or care?" He said at that point he was angry and shouted: *"Did I not ask you?" What else do you want me to do?"*So he slammed the door and left. On getting to the car downstairs, about to start the car, the Holy spirit asked him, if someone passes by now and mistakenly hits his leg on a stone, what would you say? He replied, I will tell the person *"sorry"*. The Holy spirit asked again, "Did you cause the person to hit his/her leg on the stone?" He said "No!" Then why would you say 'sorry' for what you didn't cause?" He said instantly he got the message the Holy Spirit was trying to pass across: *That you don't have to be the cause before you say" sorry" especially to some you care for.* So he got back upstairs, his wife looking at him angrily, then he said, *Sweetheart I'm sorry*. She just wrapped her arm around him and sobs. What a wonder! He said he was left speechless and wondering.
      *Dear reader, Stop justifying yourself. Can you just tell Him/Her you are sorry even if it was your partner's fault?* "I am Sorry" can make that relationship work! Have a blessed day and I AM SORRY FOR WHATEVER PAIN OR ANGER that myself or anybody else had brought upon you. *Note* This is not Meant for ONLY MEN. Women Included. *Let Us Learn To Forgive each other* Because, in life, we disagree to agree and every misunderstanding opens our eyes to understand each other better. I hope this piece can help a family, group or friends that are nursing grudges or misunderstanding.
