forgiveness cup


Have you ever heard of a forgiveness cup?  My girlfriend received one for her wedding and I thought it was a really great idea.  You pick a cup, a wine glass, a mug or a beautiful ceramic like these atelier halo cups and gift it to a couple with the poem included. 

I think it is a good way to know when your partner is ready to talk things out.  Sometimes when I'm not ready to resolve things, I need to hold a grudge a little longer, I only end up getting more frusterated when approached with resolve.  This way you always know the other is ready to make amends.




When you've had an argument or a fight
whether it is big or small...
When you're not talking to each other much
maybe not at all...
When you want everything to be fine,
you want to kiss and make up...
All it takes is for one of you
to use the Forgiveness Cup.
Reach for it, fill it up
present it as a token.
Your love will know what it means,
no words need to be spoken.
If your love drinks from the cup,
things are on the mend.
Share this way to forgiveness
for true love that never ends.

I like this idea...but Craig would be using it as a wine glass every night and would have forgotten all about the poem!
