In flash of lightning on clouds' darkest tide Christ gave light to the world -He gave His life to forgive all our sins, He suffered…died Exemplifying His loving deeds for we’re His children, in Him we must unite. His sacrifice gave Him unrivalled sore to make His Love reign in this world, not grudge Hatred inflicts pains of body, mind...heart-- Spoiling one's relationship, soul is smudged. No sadness follows or unending war if our contrite heart will swallow its pride and His Holy Spirit mediates and guide. Jettison our heart’s hurts through forgiveness and sail on life’s light flow with happiness. ©2015Leonora Galinta All Rights Reserved Sept. 30, 2015 11.15 pm Also inspired by a bible verse: Ephesians 4:32

so when you say Monday next week, do you mean like tomorrow here in the states? Or a whole week later? What is the exact day, Leonora? You are such a sweetie, and I hope all your birthday wishes come true.

I agree with you my dearest friend, Anne Lise! Nothing will be lost if people forgive and forget because we'll gain God's grace instead. If so, heaven will start on earth. I appreciate so much again for your loving visit and your encouraging words and rating my loving friend. God bless you and best wishes too! Thank you for the bear hugs. Likewise my dearest friend! Hugs and kisses!
