Morning Prayer June 8 Blessed Wonder teach us how to trust more boldly, love more generously, and give more courageously each and every day. Too easily our hearts are closed, shouting of danger that is not there, insisting the way is closed, unsafe, unable, when what we mean is, “I’m afraid, don’t hurt me again, careful!” Each day we have this gift to learn a bit more of trust and to be trust worthy ourselves, to risk faithfully in loving generously, to give without worry of what we receive. Blessed Wonder lead us in grateful amazement to build a life of bold trust, generous love, and courageous generosity, hour by hour, and day by day. Amen.

Trust in a relationship determines in large part how effectively you can learn from a person. In a trusting relationship, you’re likely to listen to and believe what the other person is saying…Trusted relationships also gives us the freedom to ask questions that reveal our lack of knowledge because we trust the person’s goodwill toward us…building trust in networks has a great deal to do with our individual ability to learn and the ability of an entire organization to learn and improve. - Tony Bingham, Marcia Conner, The New Social Learning

Starting Forgiveness Conversations

Another great resource from Fetzer Institute are these printable cards to start forgiveness conversations. Before many of us are ready to make the decision to ask for or to offer forgiveness, we usually have some resistances to clear and sense to make. We want to know what forgiveness means to others we trust and perhaps what forgiveness means for people we’re learning to trust. Given the amount of suspicion and mistrust in society at large, and the number of grudges and sharp resentments, we have a lot of conversations to have about forgiveness and what it means, preparing ourselves for that commitment.

Before we can do the emotional work of forgiveness, many of us have to first make a decision. These conversation starters help prepare us for turning in the direction of asking and offering forgiveness, making and accepting amends, reconciliation, and restorative justice.
