We had a great service last night at church. The guest speaker spoke on unforgiveness... that is such a powerful subject! So my question to you today is why do humans want to hang on to unforgiveness? It is kind of like burning your hand on a hot frying pan... as the burn heals you are afraid you might forget what happened so you stick your hand on a hot frying pan again so you can keep remembering the pain over & over & over. I know that sounds silly, but that is kind of what unforgiveness is like. The pan was the thing that caused the offense but it doesn't "hurt" the pan when you stick your hand back on it... it only hurts you. Just like unforgiveness, it doesn't hurt the person that offended... it only hurts you. One last thing & then I will get off my soap-box... always remember & don't ever forget... forgiveness is for you it isn't for the one that caused the offense.We are heading to the Thumb for a couple days so have a great weekend!
with a grateFUL HEART, carin

Hello,
This card is just tooooo cute. It looks like a Sharon B'Day card to me??????????
We will have to make a plan for lunch for her birthday. One of these days we just all need to get together and head up to TC for the day. Bookstore, Lunch, Walk the Beach, Whatever strikes our fancy. It has been awhile since we have done that. Maybe for Sharon's B'Day...
Of course, we couldn't do it on the day because it is Monday. Maybe on a Friday.
Have a Blessed Weekend!
See you Sunday!
Love Ya Barb

Hi Carin,
Thanks for stopping at my photo blog. It's always nice to meet another Michigan blogger. My Mom grew up in McBain. so I am familiar with the area. Do you know any Zingers? If so, they are likely to be related to me.
I live in Allendale - where Grand Valley State University is located. We are between Grand Rapids and Grand Haven.
I love your card. Someone will be thrilled to get it!
We talking about not forgiving with our Bible study group on Sunday night. You describe it well!
I hope you are well!
I have something for you on my blog.
enjoy*~*
