Forgiving is something that we all struggle with, whether it is asking for forgiveness or forgiving someone, we all struggle. Focus on the Family talks about how we can have two perspectives on humans in relation to forgiveness. The Utopian perspective perceives people as perfect beings corrupted by society, whereas the redemption perspective sees us a beings with sin nature that only be can saved by God. Those who side with redemption will find that forgiving others easier because the understand sin nature means that people make mistakes.

I think it is safe to say that we can sometimes get nervous around back to school time, especially if you are someone heading back to school. Traffic changes, our schedules change, and so do everyone else’s. So for today’s morning thing we shared some tips from Today.com about getting rid of those back to school jitters.
Some of the tips we liked included
Talk with your kids about what to expect.
The last thing you want is for your kid to get an unpleasant surprise on the first day of school. Even if they are older and have been through the first day many times, it is still worth it to make sure they are comfortable with the first day back to classes.
Prepare kids psychologically for what the morning routine will be like.
Many kids have a very different schedule during the summer than during the school year. To help your kids understand the days of waking up at 10AM are over, start getting them up earlier now. You may not immediately be thanked for your attempt to help them get back in the swing of things, but it will make school mornings a bit easier.
Open up with your kids about your own experiences.
Sharing your own experience with nerves and how you overcame will help give your child confidence that they can make it through the school day. Plus if you have a funny story it might help them shake off those nerves.
