I often wonder if you received it
and if you did, how
did you feel it, or was it a thought
a knowing deep inside, did it come
as a whisper or a cry, that prayer I said
the one where I asked you to forgive me
did you forgive me? I never heard back...

It's weeks since I wrote a 55 for G-daddy, way too many. Family commitment is the culprit keeping me from blogging...but this week I wrote it early and posted early so I didn't miss out. Hope y'all find this 55 interesting. :)
Join in the 55 FFF fun with G-man at Mr. Knowitall, have a great weekend!
A whole lot of love,
Eaton.
That can feel tough, not knowing if we are forgiven, but what really matters is forgiving ourselves and moving on. And what a gift we give ourselves when we forgive another, or ourself.
ReplyDeleteLovely 55!

Being able to forgive ourselves is just as hard as having others forgive us. Welcome back too 55!

This really touched me.
ReplyDeleteForgiveness is an important step in living and loving one another, and forgiving our selves is even harder.
ReplyDeleteLovely 55er,

I think you've touched on what often goes through our minds? We have to trust..but its human, I know I can relate. Forgiveness is so important huh. I love your thought provoking words you've penned here.
ReplyDeleteI can understand commitments, yet it is great to hear from you..even if you can get something down in the hustle and bustle like this Hope your having a wonderful weekend-
That's why it's important to say your apologies as soon as you realize the need for one.
ReplyDeleteWow. Short and powerful. Awesome. I love it!
