the pastor swayed to the music from the youth choir smiling broadly as he opened the bible and read a verse about the true meaning of forgiveness to which deacon jones exclaimed amen while staring at a frowning sister jones in the front row
your words of understanding and forgiveness cannot be heard for the distance between the two of you is greater than ever before oh there was a time when perhaps your words might have touched the heart but now your words cannot be heard nor can the tracing of your tears be followed by those gentle hands no your words cannot be heard even tho you stand just above the grave
i’ve often wondered why people insist that one should forgive and forget sins against you but since god can wash away all sins i’ll leave those jobs up to him
