Today will be participating in a contest organized by @steemkidss title forgiveness unites family. It a spacial topic to express our thoughts and also learn from others too. I still remains you favourite writer @dazzle55.

what do you understand by the word forgiveness

From my own understanding and research, forgiveness is the act or process of letting go of feeling of angers and resentment toward someone who has wrong you.

Sometimes forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting something bad someone has done to you, but choosing to move forward without holding negative thoughts, emotions or seeking of revenge of it.

Does forgiveness really matters in a family

'Yes' forgiveness is the number one important thing every family need in their daily lives and activities.

Forgiveness in a family help to repair and strengthen relationship , promoting understand within the members of the family and bring the sense of unity and connection within the members of the family.

Also forgiveness allow member of the family to move past conflicts between themselves and work towards building a more positive, calm and peaceful family environment.

what forgiveness can bring ‘life story’

This is a story between my senior brother and I, when I was in secondary school that 4 years ago I have an issue with my brother which results in fighting and fought with him due it beat me but it was necessary for me to fight so that I can redeem my freedom from him but it turn out to be a very big conflicts between the two of us.

Here is how it goes, we are six boys and only one girl in our family and am the third male child in our family, am always clam and peaceful but on that particular day I have to show my anger so that people will not take me as a fool or stupid person.

On one faithful day when I come back from school, I finish taking my afternoon meal and I wanted to rest due to the stress in school when I hear someone calling my name and I know it was my senior brother and i answer, so him ask me to go any buy him something for his female friend who has just visited him and answer him by telling him that am so tired and I need to rest that he should sent another person in the house, but he refused and didn't say anything again and I thought maybe he has gone to get it by himself.

So when his friends has gone back and I was out side washing my school uniform and unexpected I received a very big knock on my head and I couldn't hold but to return it with a slap on his face, that was when we start fighting with each other due our parents wasn't at home but the people around come to separate the two of us and also reported to our parents what happens between the two of us.

My brother and I was not in good terms with each for a period of two or three months time because of what happens and we lost a lot of things during that time because we share a lot of things together like our feelings towards something, helping ourselves during hard times and many more things but during that time, we just stay in ourselves without talking to each other.

So one day I tell me father that I don't like the way my senior brother is acting towards me , that he should do something about it or I will leave the house for them to stay, and nobody should call me if I leave the house. So my father say I should go that he will talk to me later.

On that evening my father and other members of the family was around and the sent for me and senior brother to come that the have something they want to discuss with the two of us very important.

On getting they the ask me what happens with my brother and I tell them and the also ask him and say the same, so the ask me to knee down and ask of forgiveness from him and do it with my whole heart and to him to the ask him to do it the same way but I told him not to knee down and everyone was surprised towards my act and the love I had for him.

Since that my brother and I have been in good terms with each other and we are happy together without any form of conflicts between the two of us.

Conclusion

Forgiveness is a tool the help to break the cycle of negativity and conflicts, it also a powerful for someone to free him or herself from anger and find peace, joy, and unity.
