Tomorrow, I have a job interview for a part-time writing job. When I decided to work from home, I promised myself that I’d give it a go for at least a year before making any choices about looking for a typical job or continuing with freelancing. So far, I love freelancing and I couldn’t see myself again working in an office environment.
Except in this position.

I’m Christian, and so every weekend I’d like to given anyone who is willing to take it a “homework” assignment. They’ll be Christian in nature sometimes, but you can use these as a starting point to reflect you own religious beliefs. Stop back every Friday for your homework!
This weekend’s homework: Forgive someone.
Bible verse: “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, eve as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” - Ephesians 4:32
Devotional: Forgiveness can be extremely power. So can holding on to a grudge. When someone wrongs you, the Bible says to forgive them, and I don’t think they mean “when you’re ready.” You’re supposed to turn the other cheek right now. It’s your Christian duty.
As a real person, we all know that’s not possible. As much as we want to do the “right” thing, we also want to reach out and slap the other person right back.
Today I’m asking you to forgive someone from your past. As you look back over your life, many people have hurt you in many ways. Holding onto that hurt will only continue to damage you, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
I’m not asking you to forgive every person out there who has “slapped” you. Even if you say that you forgive them, that won’t be the truth. Instead, look to your past and choose someone you can forgive…and do it. For real. Say it out loud, right it down, or pray about it.
Forgiving just one person, sincerely, can take off a lot of weight. Tomorrow, start on the rest of them. No one said it would be easy, but it will make you a happier and less stressed person if you practice forgiveness more often.

Praying daily is a dry ritual only when we unceasingly pray for prayer’s sake, in order to keep the streak going. Habits find their fulfillment only in the ability for us to ascend above ritual and into the life of liturgy.
