A discarded ring 
          (promises, vows belittled, broken).
A fractured, lonely home
          (children untaught, forsaken).
A burnt, scorned Bible
          (rules, foundations abandoned – mistaken)
Cost – hope lost –
          awaken!
          find!

"A discarded ring", "A burnt, scorned Bible" very sad Rhiannon yes. That's what is becoming of society there is talk of not getting married just a kind of renewable licence agreement. The internet is destroying the fabric of society.

In America it so bad already most kids have two families. Well it's easy for us to talk.

Keep well & Nolan

Thanks. We hope and pray that the benefit of the things discarded will be realised, and the emptiness of aiming just for one's own enjoyment (hedonism) will be realised, and the better happiness found. God's Spirit bring enlightenment for joy! Rhiannon

Those words are true. But we should always ascribe to hope that's never lost at all costs.

Thank you. Yes, the hope is there, but many don't see that they are turning away from what is offered, and reject the guidlines that help in life and daily living and lead to the One who can help in all distress.

In wanting freedom to 'do what I like' (withour the wisdom to realise what is for one's own good), oneself and others can get hurt too. Rhiannon
