3. Thorns Lord, in your name, we are coupled- however unholy we have made the linking to be and my selfishness would loudly howl and complain of the pain, but my spirit pleads take not this struggle from me. Freedom’s lifelong dream now finally forsaken, has at last awakened realization- this strain- this pain that I thought was too much to take, is instead, painfully purposed, it is directly embedded into my trusting. It keeps me reaching for thee. Negate hostility with understanding, let me not glory in weakness. Replace harshness with sensitivity; fill me with compassion for wrongs suffered, take not this thorn from me Lord, instead I pray, open my eyes and reveal the roses to me.

I can vouch for the fact that He's already answered part of that plea... for your compassion continually humbles me. *S* This is so beautiful, Lady... and I hope so much your life is wreathed in roses. |

giving my 'pen' to God has forced my pen to be patient...I know not when the prayers will come, but am thankful when they do...am glad that you find grace in my words |

 (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, He taught me to be patient myself, and I wouldn't sacrifice this thorn from my paw even after all the despair I've faced in my childhood, for this compassion and understanding is going to come in handy for me along the way and work like the key to its keyhole! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |
