However, she is almost 9 years older than myself. She left home at age 18 and did not come back to our home, not even for holidays.\u00a0 When she left our childhood home, she was unhappy and vowed to never return.\u00a0 But now she says that my childhood was a healthy one.\u00a0 Maybe she filters her opinions of my childhood through her adult experiences, whatever they may be.<\/p>\n<p>How can a person look around his own filters to discover the real story? Just climb above life\u2019s chaos, confusion, judgment, hurt, and pain of past wounds by forgiving those who helped create your negative filters.\u00a0 Let go of all resentment, anger, bitterness, and hatred.\u00a0 When you let go of all of these negative things, you will see life through the positive filters of a healing heart.<\/p>\n<p>Only then will you figure out what the real story is.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Let the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging words<\/a>\u00a0in these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.oxforddictionaries.com\/definition\/river\" data-slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a>\u00a0posts help you<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">soar like an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a>\u00a0above life\u2019s storms.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Are\u00a0 you struggling to cope with the lemons in your life?<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/past-near-river-bj-rae-eagle-encouraging-words\/\">Don&#8217;t let your past prevent your future success!<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Are you unsure of how to forgive others?<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/nearariver\/wishing-peace-eagle-near-river-bj-rae\/\">Wishing you the peace of an eagle!<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you enjoyed this post, remember that BJ writes\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">books<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><u><a href=\"https:\/\/en.oxforddictionaries.com\/definition\/river\" data-slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u>common core\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">is available on\u00a0Amazon.com\u00a0and\u00a0Barnesandnoble.com.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Buy BJ\u2019s\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/en.oxforddictionaries.com\/definition\/river\" data-slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/child\" slimstat=\"5\">child<\/a>\u00a0you care about today!<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, there are two sides to every story.\u00a0 How can you figure out which story is the real story? &nbsp; Even when two people experience the same event at the same time, they tell two different stories about it.
