Love and Forgiveness

Jewels of my Heart is a story about love and forgiveness. It's sequal, Forever My Jewels, shows the strength and endurance those two emotions possess.
Love is not only spoken, it is shown in everything we do. It is a Spiritual fruit that comes easy to most. Their journey is not full of sunshine, but their roots are strong and keeps their love alive.
Life is not perfect. Storms brew. Sometimes, they pass by your home and other times your home takes a direct hit. You do not fight the storm, but prepare for it.
When it is unexpected, you endure it. You protect yourself at all costs. When you love someone you will do the same. You will endure the storm.
Understanding and forgiveness are keys to this. Enduring storms and forgiving one another does not mean you should be foolish.
It means you understand mistakes happen in life. Repeated behavior is not a mistake. Manipulation is not a mistake. Disresprect is not a mistake and so on.
My characters, Tony and Jewels, understand this. Life is not perfect for them, but their love "endureth". Their root is strong and their happiness continues to blossom.
"...Baby, I vow to continue to love you the way Christ loved the church..." -Tony,

💐 No Rain, No Flower💐


"Rain comes to water your seed, but the sunshine comes after to help it grow. Never forget that. No rain, no flower." -Zion Brew


Life's journey is filled with many roads. We travel some on purpose and some we are detoured to. Some are smooth as an ice skating rink while others have bumps, pot holes, and sharp curves.
During our journey we meet an array of people too. Some, sprinkle love and encouragement while others devour it from you. They are known as a 'Soul Leech' or 'Energy Vampire'. They will take as much as you allow them to.
If you are celebraring something, they will ease in a negative moment. They are trying to rain on your parade. If it does not remove your joy, they will come harder. Be ready. Strap up in His peace and remain joyful.
As soon as you recognize it, you must cut the cord though. Your peace is important. Their ultimate goal is to drain it from you, hoping that it seeps into them.
It does not, so they will try and try again to no avail. They will rain on your parade for giggles. So make sure your seed is planted in good soil and their rain will help it grow. No rain, no flower.
