A constant

From Ullie Kaye Poetry

"Fires"

And if you have ever been

abandoned - be a constant.

If you have ever been wrapped

up in nights so dark, you could

not find your way back home -

be light.

If you have ever fallen apart

into a thousand, little pieces

and wondered where on 

earth everyone had gone - be present.

If you have ever felt unworthy,

unbeautiful, unseen, unknown,

unheard - be love.

I tell you the truth.

Some of the most 

precious things we learn

are from the fires

that we've endured.

Cannot change

You cannot

change people.

You can love them.

You can pray for them.

You can encourage them.

You can tell

them the truth.

But you cannot

change them.

Only God can do that.

Stay

 From Dr. K N Jacob

Divorce won't fix your life - 

forgiveness will. Stay and

repair. Don't quit. Don't break

it. Heal it. You started right - 

in unstoppable love. Just be

kind, gentle, and considerate

to one another.

Feel it

 I was today years old when I learned that:

 if you feel it in your chest, it's fear.

 If you feel it in your stomach, it's intuition. 

If you feel it in your head, it's anger. 

If you feel it in your muscles, it's anxiety.

 If  you feel it in your mouth, it's disgust. 

If you feel it in your throat, it's sadness. 

It you feel it in your face, it's shame. 

If you feel it throughout your body, it's happiness.

Not done

To the spouse who

feels like they've

prayed all they

know how to pray:

God is not done with your marriage...

...which means you're not done either.

Second chance

 Give them a second chance -

that's how you'll know if they've

changed or not.

At least, right? If they cheat again,

you won't regret it because you

already gave them a chance.

Give them a second chance - that's how you'll know if they've changed or not. At least, right? If they cheat again, you won't regret it because you already gave them a chance.

Sometimes people truly do grow, reflect, and become accountable for the pain they caused. But other times, the second chance only teaches someone that forgiveness will always be available no matter how badly they hurt you.

Real change is not words, tears, apologies, or temporary effort. It is consistency over time, honesty without pressure, and actions that no longer resemble the person who betrayed you before.

And if they repeat the same behavior, at least you will stop blaming yourself for not trying hard enough.

From Phantom Pain

to see you again or to never see you again."
