Every Tuesday I search the headlines as well as the depths of my own personal life to try and find a soothing story to salve the soul.
I heard this man give his testimony on the radio, what a powerful story of love and forgiveness…here is the opening…
Daddy didn't come home. And the bullets that tore the life from his body also tore the life from his family.
"We had an ideal family and were living the American Dream," remembers Adolph Coors IV. "We had the home in the mountains, wealth, social success and parents who loved us and took time to let us know their love. My life was almost everything a boy could want. Then on February 9, 1960, our world was ripped apart."
that morning Adolph Herman Joseph Coors III left his mountain ranch at the usual 7:30 AM. It was only 12 miles from the ranch to the Coors brewery in Golden, Colorado, a short pleasant drive on a crisp winter morning. He would be early for work - as usual.

I encourage you to read the rest of the story as it is very powerful. If this man can get to the point where he can offer his forgiveness to the man that killed his father, than what are we waiting for? Perhaps you know someone that you need to forgive today? Perhaps they hurt you very badly, dishonored you or your family name, or perhaps they let you down in a time of need. I encourage to entertain and act on the thought of forgiveness; just as Christ has done or will do for you today.
