Forgiveness

 Forgiveness 


Forgiveness has bones

It has a brain

It uses logic 

And common sense 


Forgiveness goes about

Finding a common ground.

It shows up in common places.

It happens unsuspected.


Forgiveness allows one to

Name the thing that happened.

Forgiveness gives one a way

To see it for what it was.


Forgiveness provides for the 

Empty spaces in conversation 

And allows one to listen 

And grieve outside of one’s own experience.


Forgiveness walks into a situation 

And remembers.

But walks with peace

And knows calmness.


Forgiveness has an earpiece 

On the heart 

And a microphone 

At his mouth

Saying the words that

Forgiveness has given him.


Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear.

Forgiveness looks alone.

But He’s always always 

Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness.


Forgiveness can stand alone though.

It doesn’t melt away or dissipate 

With time.

Forgiveness is that little happy wren 

On your shoulder 


Forgiveness sings songs in your ear to 

Keep you from falling apart.


Forgiveness lets you grieve 

But shows you how you’re 

Better than you were.


Forgiveness finds a way 

To reach out 

And shake a hand 

Meet the eye of your enemy 

And hug the ones who 

Especially needs to be forgiven.


Forgiveness is rather important.

In My Worship Place

Last time I posted I mentioned being in a quiet spot.      It's curious to me how one can be in a quiet spot internally but super busy externally and then be in a quiet season externally but Internally be in a season of seeking and crying and lonely.      Zerrick and Susanna's reception in our yard is over and my many siblings showing up for us was a cherry on top.   It felt like a relaxed good reception and I spent most of it watching people and listening in on little groups of chatter.      And then the twelve hours with my siblings on Saturday.  God worked it out so I could have tiny little snitches of chat that I could be assured that I got the most of the gift of them even being here.        We all stood around and prayed and cried and sobbed together for a short time before Bruce's left.  Healing.  I still feel emotional about it.  And now it's qu...

A few things...

Okay, I have a whole pile of pictures I'm going to post one of these days. In the mean time....a few more questions to add to my last post.... 1. What do people mean when they say things like, " He/she spoke peace/ blessing/ love/truth or whatever into my heart? How does one get truth spoke into ones heart by another person? Okay, now I expect to hear someone defend themselves for saying this or else clarify to me why it sounds so off the wall......no reading this w/out some input! 2. What else? I was asking about what does it mean to have deeper relationship w/ God. So everyone said ya that's a good thing to desire. Here's my thought. You either have a relationship w/ God or you don't. So then who decides if it's a deeper relationship than....see how can you know? Can you compare? That won't work because God doesn't work like that....putting us on brackets of who is most spiritual. The only way you can use the term in having a deeper relationship w/ Go...

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.
