Thanksgiving is a time of year when we traditionally focus on gratitude.
In my family, that involves sharing thanks and grace at a table overflowing with Thanksgiving fare. Our comments are reflective, but also a prelude to the feast.
This year, as I radiate thankfulness to family and friends, I am also grappling with the more complex concept of forgiveness.
On both a global and personal scale, it is difficult to move beyond platitudes to action. I’ve noticed that I’m not alone.
In January, the Children’s Museum of Atlanta presents “XOXO: An Exhibit About Love & Forgiveness” as a space for families and children to reflect and generate conversations about forgiveness.
