Hopeful Wishing

Elevated intentions are futile in an attempt to hold your heart close to my own. Could you see beyond a lie that was told with the best of intentions? In between the war of the sexes is an ecstasy that could warm the coldest of hearts. Jealousy shall be refrained until all other options have been exhausted.

Thanks for sharing this. God bless you. Meanwhile, I greet you with a Joyous New Year with this prayer from the Bible in Numbers 6:24-26, "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."

I liked the title and your thoughts. I especially liked the last sentence. Avoid jealousy...I agree. It always backfires. have a pleasant evening, Sara
