The Forgiving Heart (The Heart Of Minnesota Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
This is a fearful thing. There was some hope in January when we were told the Soviet army had advanced into Poland. Today, the pastor spoke on praying for your enemy. I admit to having trouble with that. Is it not enough to not hope ill for them? I know the answer to that. I tried very hard to pray for the soldiers at the camp, the one who shot my mother, the ones who took my sister, but I could get no further than, “Lord, bless them today.” I do not wish good for them. I only want them to be stopped so they stop hurting people the way they have hurt me. Sometimes I even wish for someone to do to them what they are doing. I probably need to pray for a new heart for myself. Ellie and I got the highest scores on our geography quiz. She says it is because I helped her with her understanding of Europe, but it was on Africa. She makes me laugh. I wrote earlier that I had begun to tell Ellie of my experiences leading up to my time in camp. She has not since asked me for more information, though I sat down and talked to your mom and dad about it some more.
