I learned that I should share that story about nails and fences with Jackson and that will help me forgive him.

I appreciated the lesson of this story...but if the father hadnโ€™t known the lesson, how would he have known to forgive the son? If the offended parties arenโ€™t a part of the story to begin with, how does the forgiveness happen?๐Ÿค”

Really made me think about what I should say and to think before I say.

I had just received a text from my friend telling me that she doesnโ€™t have her part of the project, and itโ€™s due tomorrow so that has me down.

I learned
I learned that what you say when your mad can actually hurt someone even if you say your sorry. Watch what you say when your mad.

I get the point of the story but--
I get the point of the story but honestly, I'm not going to be thinking about nails in a fence and the holes it leaves behind when I'm angry. I'm going to be thinking about what's happening in the moment. If it was that easy, no one would get angry and say the things they do.

Your anger leaves lasting consequences and you should think about what you are going to say before you react

After listening to nails in the fence
I learned that when u act out that what I say even if in the moment I donโ€™t mean it can and will affect someone no matter what I say or do whatโ€™s done is done

I took a different approach on the story relating it to me and what Iโ€™ve been through. I learned that I was the walls and the holes in the walls were my scars. The son was an ex and the nails he was hammering into me was the lies and deceits he told me. Every time heโ€™d pull out a nail would be every time my ex would own up to a lie he had told me earlier.
