70 X 7

70 X 7 =

a) 490

b) 7

c) infinitely

 

I am grateful that the correct answer is (c) infinitely.

I'm sure there are a few of you that wonder where I got my math skills with that answer. I get it from my favorite inspirational book where The Teacher answers his most loved students question: "Sir, how often should I forgive a brother who sins against me? Seven times?" And The Teacher replyed "seventy times seven".

You can replace the word sin with wronged me and the word brother with friend, family member, co-worker, boss, or even myself. The advice stands just as strong.

Related advice from the same book says “Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness that God requires”

I am grateful that I'm not the angry young man that I once was and I am equally grateful that many people along the way (especially when I was an angry young man) knew this wisdom when dealing with me in the past.

This is my second entry into Debe Maxwell, CRS NOVEMBER 2019 THANKSGIVING GRATITUDE CHALLENGE

Hi Bob - I am glad to learn the source of your math skills is not The Three Stooges.

It was before I learned cribbage Michael Jacobs , at least one would think so with my answers to math questions.

Ha, I too am glad the Three Stooges didn't give you the answer to your math question. :) Agree with your conclusion. Forgive and walk away, walk away.

Funny thing is Margaret Rome, Baltimore Maryland is that I never had a reason to be an angry guy. Glad I grew out of it.
