FOREGIVENESS Foregiveness is a necessity for a troubled heart. In order to have freedom from these resentments becomes an art. We must have mercy and show grace to those that have wronged us. Show a heart of compassion and charity to give total absolution and thus,the other will be overwhelmed by the lenience and clemency they are offered. Joyfully repent and one day at a time….learn not to offend. For now, we have forgiven all the ones who have ever harmed us. We will be given grace from our God all of our days. – Jeannean McSwane
Compassion A meek heart seeks Clemency in the benevolent Empathy of merciful softness… -The Voice
Warmth “Try a little tenderness” as the song says. The shared comfort of closeness. Reassurance and affection radiate a heartfelt closeness that warms from the outside in and inside out. Soft and cozy to snuggle into like a blanket, a shelter from the harsh cold of an unforgiving world that lies beyond. -Anonymous Resident

This gem is a type of beryl; its color can be pale to dark blue, greenish-blue, or blue-green; deep, intense blue versions are more valuable. March’s Zodiac signs are Pisces (February 20 to March 20) and Aries (March 21 to April 20).
