For Those Wounded By Love

i've been divorced before, been in relationships that ended badly... and i know the deep level of pain and anger and loss... where there was great love, there will be an even greater sense of hurt... as if the whole world comes crashing down on you... one of the hardest things for me was when there were children involved.... especially small children.... (and all children, in a parent's eyes are small!) i can remember waking up at night in a sweat hearing my children calling, 'Daddy, Daddy...' and this went on for years! we are human, full of goodness and badness, darkness and light... with desires and wants and needs... and love is a very human thing, as is marriage! it's a long journey that takes two people walking side by side... passion carries its own responsibility... commitments made in the heat have to be strong to withstand the cold... let's be careful how we treat each other, and how we treat ourselves... a lot of people carry the wounds of love, a lot of people are hurting... be respectful enough to not do anything that you cannot honor... and forgive... for that's the only way to be forgiven! whatever happens, be respectful!
