If forgiveness were a simple matter a mere uncurl of fingers would drop this hardness of heart splat. But not so. It is more like a cactus that has grown as did I its prickly barbs just inside my skin. Removal threatens life and limb. My limited reasoning finds no plausible solution; ignorance only pretends numbness. But faith is strong and I trust in You to work the best in me. Though I asked, I thank You now for not yanking it out by the roots. And when I protest at the speed of the progress please remind me Lord that I am Your biggest obstacle. |

thank you both......it has been long since I wrote, and I think now I see that it was a lack of honesty with myself that was holding me back...... |

I probably should read those last lines daily... but I'd still be a roadblock. *S* Beautiful write, dear lady! |

YES! Absolutely LOVE this....I think all of us can relate and I'm printing this out as a much needed reminder Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

Luminosity~ You live up to your name in this penning~ The shed of your word-light is simply amazing~ I so enjoyed the comfort of this penning~ Thank you for sharing ... *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
