March 31, 2018 Once Upon...



Once upon a laugh, I understood how easily a few well placed words can spring joy.
Once upon a tear, I saw how a word not chosen well can draw hurt on a heart forever.

Once upon a smile, I knew how important it was to peddle encouragement.

Once upon a frown, I grieved the loss of kindness and gentleness in the world.

Once upon a touch, I felt the power of love wrapped around me on a dark night. 

Once upon a slap, I experienced the sting of rebellion and anger. 

Once upon a kiss, I discovered how sweet or sour love can be in the hands of a human.

Once upon a lie, I lost my innocence and found bitterness in its place. 

Once upon a nail pierced hand, I found my sin and need for His love. 

Once upon a cross, I witnessed a man give everything simply because He loves.

Thank you! Yes, wrote it in my head last night when I couldn’t sleep, then typed it up this morning.
