LENIENT

I know the word, but I don’t remember

anyone ever being called, “lenient”.

“Lefty,” “Liberal”, yes, but “lenient” no.

Yet, come to think about it, who of us

wouldn’t mind being called, “Lenient”?

That’s the father of the Prodigal Son.
That’s Jesus on the cross. “Forgive them…”

That’s my hope when I come out of

my tomb and walk my way into heaven.
