Had I known how gladly Your water would wash the wickedness away; how softly my transgressions slipped down my cheeks; how the blackness of my bitterness and hate could be washed spotless with Your cleansing power, I would have welcomed the roughness of washboard, Your cleansing forgiveness tenderly reaching into my hiding place. Thank you for the living river that you so lovingly provide. |

jellybeans~ This is so beautifully penned. "Your cleansing forgiveness tenderly reaching into my hiding place." What a wonderful thought that is. Nicely done.

love this! I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man. |

well, I apologize for internet gliches, because I really did come (when I had more time) and type out a personal thank you to each and everyone here, and now that Justb comes and brings it back from the dead, I do not see my thank you... so will thank you all, from my heart... hugs |
