In a little church the other day
the preacher spoke to all
"God is willing to forgive us
no matter how often that we fall."

I listened intently to the words
that this man had to say,
and found comfort in the words
that were spoken on this day.

It had been way to long,
oh how his words were true!
He said "know this in your heart
God's angels are watching over you."

There were so many things
that this man expressed to us,
he taught the power of love
when inside you hold it's trust.

Love is a wonderous thing
the heart is surely where it belongs
but what stood out in my mind the most
is when he said "Love doesn't count the wrongs"

If the Lord can forgive us in all we do
should we not forgive those that we love?
Perhaps we should learn by the example
that has been set by the father above.

On this, a very special wedding day
this man helped me remember a thing or two,
it reminded me that love truly does prevail
and that we should never forget that this is true.

I know that you can 'read' me
but can you  'hear'  "me"?

Donna - yes, love is forgiving. Also, we must love and forgive ourselves. Be well dear lady. Chris

(big hugggsssssssss) Oh Donna, this is lovely, sweet friend, know you are always loved and God loves you so much and will never let you down, I know this because though I am heartbroken right now it isn't the first heart I've broken and I survived the first time so I'm certain I can do it once more! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

aaaahhh i love this, the first few lines reminded me of something my great grandmother told me before she died, she said God isnt upset over how many times we fall, as long as we get back up....thank you for bringing this memory to mind, hugs
