We Never Learn

I've had people, some that were classified as friends, Take advantage and use me, and I pray the hurt someday will mend. There are those, and they know what they've done, But when the day comes and they have to answer to our Maker, where will they run? Those unkind deeds are forgiven but they are awful hard to forget, And the sad part is the friendship that ended in regret. But on the up and up most mankind is of the forgiving nature, Just wish we came with a warning light to let us know in advance when a breech of friendship will occur. Maybe I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and I am sure not the brightest of stars, But when you loose trust in someone, I think it is very hard to repair, No matter how much you love them, or how much you care. It's almost like a wound that refuses to heal, All because someone lost sight of our values and the way we feel. That is why we cannot allow ourselves to dwell on the emotions at hand, We must forgive if we seek forgiveness that day in front of our Savior we all will stand.

Ron I have learned over the last few years we get our greatest hurts and wounds by those close to us. If we continue to dwell on it we will never find that place of forgiveness. I know it is hard at times but trust me with the help of the Lord we will find that peace from within. Great write and continue to share. David said, let the righteous afflict me...

These people you speak of, we have thousands of them here, they seem to be the best friends, then just need something, and see how many come calling to help...I have probably four people that I could call on, any hour of the day or night, and they would be here, I guess I am lucky, there are some that have no one....what is the old saying, stay close to your friends, and even closer to your enemy.....always, Christy
