Sorrow That the Eye Can't See

He didn't treat her nice. He was mean and abusive

towards her and the children. 

Towards his grandkids, he is only slightly better

but only because they are not his.

She was kind, gentle,and caring

She served and loved the Lord, family, friends, and strangers.

Her sense of humor and the sound of her voice

brought smiles to those around her

After 30+ years together, the cancer took her away

within months he marrys another.

Towards me, he is anything but grandfatherly

I hear criticism and harsh tones

I was unable to forgive him

Unable to invite him to the happiest day of my life

Until these words pierced my heart 

like never before.

Lord, I Would Follow Thee

Who am I to judge another
When I walk imperfectly?

In the quiet heart is hidden

Sorrow that the eye can't see.
Lord, I would follow thee.

Savior, may I love my brother
As I know thou lovest me,
Find in thee my strength, my beacon,
For thy servant I would be.
Lord, I would follow thee

Then the peace that the Spirit poured 

into my heart overwhelmed me. 

As forgiveness filled my heart 

huge tears spilled down my cheeks.

My heart is healed and I feel no more bitterness
