Thank you so much for your support. I much appreciate it.<br /><br />Forgiveness is easier said than done. We may want to forgive as best we can, within our human limitations, but we often fail. This is because our emotions are not a switch we can turn on and off. Our feelings have been hurt, sometimes badly. No amount of saying, (and believing), "I forgive you" will cease the pain that continues to hurt. Especially when we live with the reminder every day!<br /><br />It is a lovely coat and hat, I'll admit. But I would look silly wearing them.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-59153094497963334852021-03-15T11:27:21.923-07:002021-03-15T11:27:21.923-07:00That's true, Linda.
