This is a very sweet post about your apology to your brother. We, as humans, make mistakes when we talk or have arguments, but the good thing is God knows we are human and we fail. So you did right by apologizing to your brother and to our Lord, God. love and blessings, teri

Yep! We all have done it. All have sinned and come short of the glory. Sure, glad God is a loving and forgiving God. You were Luckey it was soap. LOL.

good terms now.

-Thanks for sharing the image, notes, and poem, Jan.
-You wrote a good apology sharing your feelings
with good descriptions and rhyme.
-I don't think many people get one like that
so I hope it made a difference and fences were mended.

Thank you for sharing. I think everyone of us is guilty of saying something horrible in an argument. We are human and make mistakes. I know God forgives us and I'm sure after an apology your brother will too.

My brother and I are on good footing these days, but it is always a slippery slope with him. Thanks for reading. jan

I hope you show your brother this well written apology, it would be accepted by me had some one said something bad to me. I'm sure he knows you didn't mean it. Well done, it take a strong character to admit to being wrong. :)) Sandra xx

I have never envisioned God washing out our mouths with soap but maybe that explains the bitter taste we experience when we have used our words unkindly.

Ginda: I had never envisioned that, either, but it came to me as I started writing an apology letter to my brother. Thanks for reading. jan

It is terrible when words slip out to siblings. I was youngest so I went above and beyond , leaving notes under pillows, for things that weren't even things. I think they laughed at me, because I was more concerned for God to see me apologize just in case. I was weird. I enjoyed reading your story and the image you chose goes perfectly with your thoughtful, effective words. :))

Very honest - and I am sure your brother has forgiven you, and that your relationship is healed. It is hard to apologise, but you have offered it, showing genuine remorse. Well constructed in this limerick format.

Dolly, I can't begin to tell you how ashamed I was to talk to God about what I said even though I knew He had heard it loud and clear when it came out of my mouth. jan
