My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author,  Patricia Raybon  …  USE THS LNK -       …  wrote about the Hecht Museum in Israel being willing to forgive a young boy breaking a priceless 3500 year old jar from the Bronze Age; … and ,,, inviting the boy to come back to the museum in the future.  And the Museum staff felt this forgiveness would draw more people to the museum and teach the boy, and others,  a lesson in forgiveness.
