Well folks,hello and how are you? Hope all is well. Yeah,I’ve had to pardon some folks in my life. I’ve also had to pardon myself. Sometimes pardoning ourselves is the toughest thing to do,at least for me anyway. However,making some mistakes and learning from them,is part of growing and learning. And,hopefully,we all grow and learn from our past boo boo’s, and learn to go on and live full productive lives. Forgiving isn’t always easy. The deeper the hurt,(in my opinion) the more difficult it can be to forgive someone. And,forgiveness doesn’t always happen all at once,it can;but it’s not always the case. (not if we’re going to be totally honest about it.) Forgiveness is not just an internal action–it’s an attitude,and a way of life. Sometimes, we have to admit that we’re still angry,bitter,or resentful toward someone in order to realize that we need to forgive them,or that we need forgiveness from someone(s). Forgiveness doesn’t mean accepting disrespectful,harmful or abusive behavior.
Here I rest
upon a breast
where winter hides away
protected I am
from the midnight sun
I continue to laugh and play
rocking upon this heart of gold
though tomorrow may hold the unknown
today I’m alive and feeling perky
we care not to fear
any of your jive

Oops,here is the continuation of the afore writen post.
There are several words in the Old Testament(Bible)and New Testament forour english words–
forgive,forgiveness,forgiven,pardon,spare,etc.
They are as follows:(The words written are english transliterations of the hebrew and greek words. At the moment,my computer is not capable or writing hebrew and greek.(At least I don’t think it is,although I do believe that it can translate those languages. 🙂 ]
forgive-O.T.(Old Testament) 1) nacah-(pronounciation–naw-saw)it means to lift. with alot of ways to apply this.
2)calach-(pronounciation-saw-lakh. It means to forgive-pardon,spare.
3)callach-(prounciation-sal-lawkh) it means placable-ready to forgive.
4)kaphar-(pronounciation-kaw-far) It means to expiate or condone,to placate,or cancel.
it also means to pardon.
These same four words are also the words used for the word pardon-in the Old Testament
(Bible)
forgive-N.T.(New Testament) 1)aphiemi-(pronounciation-af-ee-ay-mee) it means to send forth(in this case,it means to
send forth forgiveness.
2)charizomai-(prounounciation-khar-id-zomahee)It means to grant as a favor. to kindly
padon or rescue. to freely forgive.

I didn’t want to get to “heavy” in the explanation(s)or the definition(s) of the word forgive or forgiveness(Or the act thereof) in this blog. I did,however,want to give a very clear explanation of what forgive/forgiveness is and what it isn’t. It’s very important (for a healthy lifestyle) to understand this. I appreciate all of ya’lls time,and I do hope that you truly enjoy this blog. God bless each one,and welcome. 🙂 :love:
Forgiveness can be a difficult thing,for (it)
involves much it does.
A decision made (and not to naive)
to let go,to reliqunish(all hate,etc.)and love.
Not to accept ill intent,nor harmful behavior as well-
just to know that one must go–and love(care)–
not relish hell.
For,God hath said”Vengenance is mine,I will repay,
I will recompense,saith the Lord”(O.T.)
God help me live–and truly forgive-
cause I need forgiveness too–
like a flood.
Galatians 2:20. May we all know God’s forgiveness,and,each other’s as well. Peace,Elfwing. I love you all. :love:
‘k peeps. It’s 1:30 in my neck of the woods. 🙂 I’mm gona go chill for a while,and maybe get some shut eye. Will see ya’ll later to view,comment and write. thanks for your entries and participation. Love and hugs,Elfwing. 🙂
Tangled up and bound by the past.
A love did not last.
A betrayal of deep hearted reasons.
I was so played.
But today I forgive so many cruel ways.
Tomorrow ill move on to different place.
I hope forgiveness will find me grace.
I’m so tired of carrying all this hate.
I am sorry it ended this way.
But I must move on to better days.
I’ve been holding onto depression for so long.
I’m so tired of playing the betrayal song.
I’m cold and weak I can’t find my way out of so much hate.
Forgiveness is all I can say.
You won your cruel game.
I was beat this way.
You played your game so well.
You tore me apart.
You ripped out my heart.
And still I forgive your cruel ways.
For I’m moving on today.
I wont cry no more.
All I can do is try.
I don’t pretend to know how life works.
But I know I can’t live with all this hurt.
I must let go.
I must find my new home.
To start over is a blessing this time.
For I know I’ll be just fine.
And for you , you will carry on.
So here I go.
I forgive you for your evil ways.
I hope your happy again some day.
I hope this was a lesson for you to.
I know the power they hold over you.
May you escape the grip they hold onto.
May you finally find your own life.
This is about before I married my husband
I had like a buncha Turkey’s in line
hheheeh and One was…
A Huge TURKEY….
Yeah he even stalked my friend to get to me
Haaaa.. and still does stuff!!
Poor Lil goggbbbler!!
SO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!
Candle Lite at Both Ends
Can’t be my Dinner
And My friend
As you wait, for a challenge
You cannot take
For her heart will not ever
Be in your calloused race
Suitors, stand in attention
In line
Hoping, counting strings
As years stand behind
Laughing at the casting call
Stalking her through me
Through it all
Pathetic, desperate men
Pretend, to cherish me
Years, as a loving friend
She will not ever give
You the time, nor light
Your candle at the end
Can’t be My dinnner
And My Friend!!!
So What!!!!!
