How is 2022 treating you so far? For some of you, I'm sure great things are happening. For others, horrible, heart-wrenching things have...

ReplyDeleteAnd then you are left with what could have been?
No way to say I am sorry.
The words you can't take back. Sometimes even if you can say your sorry to the person the words still hang there, like a dark cloud over your head.
I need to remember to forgive myself in these times, as sometimes I hold onto things for way longer than the other person prolly did. And they have moved on but I am still there hurting myself for refusing to forgive myself.
Peace and blessings upon you girlfriend,

For Children's Time at church one Sunday, I did an experiement with the children. I had one squeeze toothpaste out onto a piece of paper. I told another child to put the toothpaste back in the tube. Of course some of it he got in, but there was still a trail of toothpaste that he couldn't get into the tube. Moral of the story: words can't be taken back...even if you apologize for them.

Very wise words. Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteVery good story :D
