"Apology accepted"

Why in the world do people so readily accommodate evil?

[HushTX]

Given what the family is going through, I don’t blame them for wanting this mess put to rest.

I accept apologies from people when they are offered. I don’t tend to forget what warranted the apology, though. I do my best to forgive, as I am expected to do.

Even when I don’t necessarily believe the person is sincerely sorry, I accept the apology. If they are deceitful, that is between them and God. And just because I accept the apology does not mean I will make the mistake of assuming everything is peachy-keen and trust them again.

But like I said, the father probably just wants to be left alone to grieve with his family.

Accommodate?
No. It's "forgive."

And the answer is: Mercy.

I need a dose of Mercy - every day.
