BYE FOR NOW BUT NOT FOREVER
I’ll be leaving on Friday the fifth and won’t be back until the wee hours on the fifteenth. I’m going to CO to visit relatives and will meet one of my great grandson’s who is around nine months old already. I have another great grandson in WI, born last month, I haven’t seen yet either. My ‘greats’ now total ten!!! Just four more and the ‘greats’ will tie with the ‘grands’. How blessed I am... being an only child.
GOD'S FORGIVENESS
Every time I confess a sin to You
when I’m feeling sorry for things that I do.
You take my sin and fling it afar
clearing my record of sins ugly mar.
Or You throw confessed sin in ocean’s deep
forgiving forgotten sin — which I keep.
When guilt drags me with it back to You,
I hear, “What are you confessing to?”
Guilt wanting its way is ready to shout,
when softly You ask, “what’s this all about?”
Guilt tucks in it’s tail, it sulks away
knowing Your forgiveness is here to stay.
It’s one of your greatest gifts to me
forgiveness You offer willingly.
Teach me forgiveness as You forgive
guide me in all Your ways... how I should live
