The word was brought up in Pastors sermon on Good Friday. <p>"My God, My God why have You forsaken Me?" Mark 15:34<p>Pastor then said "ask a divorced person if they feel forsaken." I swear he was looking directly at me. <p>It hit me, that is what I feel and have felt through all of this, forsaken. Pastor said it this way..... to have someone love you so greatly and to be so secure in that love and then to have that person tell you that it wasn't so......I don't know a sort of peace came over me.<p>I remember last night thinking of this for a long time and know that there were other words in the sermon and I do remember hearing forgiveness as one of them, but got caught up on the forsaken thing but as I went back through the service now it says....."Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." Luke 23:34. I have forgiven my WH from the very beginning of all of this.<p>I set here at my computer as my WH sets watching DVD's with the kids less then 5 feet from me and I feel.....peace, sadness still, but mainly peace. Am not sure what that means.<p>That is why the question about the word, am I just making too much out of this trying to make something fit?<p>Dawn [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]
