Forgiveness is not the hardest thing. Not TRUSTING is.
I held on to alot of anger because of what certain people did to me or did to my children.
What I learned?
I learned to forgive. It set me free.
What I have to learn as an adult?
Trust
Maybe I will master that one when I write "What I learned in 50 years:)"

As a person
I was so confused in what love was suppose to be. How it should feel. I allowed my experiences to confuse me about Love.
What I learned?
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
—I Corinthians 13:4-8a
**If you follow this, then you know what love is and you won't settle for anything less. You may even have to teach someone what love is. The verses above, saids it all. Love should be with out conditions. It should be UNCONDITIONAL.
Another thing I learned....
I may not agree with what you do, but I still love you. As a mother and a friend I learned that.

As a wife
I use to feel like I wasn't appreciated. I would feel as though I did so much and didn't receive the same.
What I learned?
A woman is suppose to be GREAT and sometimes in being Great we are often over looked. That shouldn't discourage you, thats what a virtuos woman does. Takes care of things. I also learned that with being a woman/wife/mother comes great responsibility and sacrifice. Some can do it and some can not.
Proverbs 31: 10
A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 "Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

As a person
I would find myself getting discouraged when things didn't work out and often I felt like giving up and sometimes I actually did.
What I learned?
I learned that when I feel discouraged I just have to think of another plan. Changing plans will change the circumstance, especially if the old one wasn't working.
