Two Shoes Tuesday ~~ Another Poem (of sorts)
.
Words Broken;
God's Plan?
Promises are only words -- silly words?
They say sticks and stones can break my bones. Still,
words can never hurt me. First grade lesson
Will it still be a promise I've made if
I cross my fingers? You betcha it will
No one's there, will a falling tree make noise?
"To have and to hold, from this day forward,
for better, for ... to love ... to cherish, till
death do us part, ... God's holy ordinance"*
Promises are meant to be kept -- God's Law
Will it hurt when a promise is broken?
You betcha it will -- no mere silly words

Thank you God, for your loving Grace.

This was a beautiful message post, Jim. I loved how you used the prompt to talk about broken promises. The words we speak, the commitments we make, are important! We live in a world where they are seen as easily revoked. We all make mistakes along the way, we learn from them, we learn the value of only saying what we really mean, and then meaning what we say! I'd say 40 years is a strong testament to believing in the words you spoke to each other, and you've both been very blessed by staying faithful to your beliefs and vows! Thank you for such a positive message to share with us at Two Shoes Tuesday! It is always a good read here, Jim!
Good one, Jim. I like the way you think. And thanks for your right-on comment on my blog. Yes, God did make us stewards of the earth. We make dismal stewards these days!
