Forgiveness

Beauty Berry, Fall 2022

O beauty berry,

seventy times seven is

the fruit of your heart

* How many berries are there, clustered around the green stems? Seventy? Seventy times seven? I think of those who grow forgiveness in their hearts. I give thanks for those who show me this beauty. 

** At that point Peter got up the nerve to ask, “Master, how many times do I forgive a brother or sister who hurts me? Seven?” Jesus replied, “Seven! Hardly. Try seventy times seven." Matthew 18: 21-22 (The Message)
