@Mrs. Jennings. I ran across your comment today. Don’t know why I have not seen it before now (My site was down for awhile) anyway… The story is not about a real friend in my life, except God being the friend always giving to me.

I agree grace is the best way to go, and my favorite book of all time “To Kill A Mockingbird” teaches us to walk a mile in a man’s shoes. Every since I read that in Jr. High I have never forgotten it. There are times I have found myself walking in someone’s shoes after I have judged that exact situation. It is the most humbling experience to stand in a place that you have judged others and feel the judgement from OTHERS you have actually placed. Though I am FAR from perfect in not judging others I have become much more compassionate in my life and shake my head when I hear people speaking out hateful judgements. I shake because I actually feel for the person speaking it out because I want to scream “NO don’t do it, you have no idea what you are bringing on yourself!” And when I have realized I have judged someone unfairly I am quick to repent and asked God for HIS grace.

Agreed. Gatorade is NOT a “healthy” option in anyway.

I always try to prepare lunches the night before for my son because it makes it so much easier in the morning. He also takes a water bottle with Yoli in it to drink. I don’t send Gatorade because it has to much sugar.

It is indeed hard to say no to others and equally hard to keep from being hurt when they pass around things that do not seem equally as fair. We say life is not fair but it seems when it is us, who have to suffer that unfairness all of a sudden our own professing of grace shows.

Grace is about knowing that we will suffer for whatever we choose. Yes, no matter what we do we will have others who will take about us. Over the years many who have said horrible things either to my face or behind my back, now are coming to seek answers.

Have you not done the same as this friend. She was hurt and lacked grace and understanding. If you know your sister is offended go to her and have a talk with her and if you cannot resolve it seek a mediator, it is how Scriptures tell us to do such a thing. In giving so many details your friends and family will know who this friend is.

Also we will have many people in our lives who are very needy and unable to provide for them selves or do for them selves for one reason or another. Yes we will need to know what part we play in their lives, yet God often puts Lazarus’ in our lives to test our grace and depth of our own love. For myself I know I have failed some of these test because I just did not see through the eye of Christ into the other person’s life as well as I should have. Trying to make amends with an offended brother is harder than getting into a fortified city, Proverbs.

Over the years I have meet some very needy people and also have been in such situations myself. It is interesting when the shoe is on your foot just how differnt the picture looks.

Saying no can be done in such a way as to bring grace and love as well as pointing to the true giver of the situation, Christ. Grace, must always be the source of our understanding when it comes to others. Thank you for the reminder of both shoes. Mrs. J.

I am glad to hear I was not the only one that was not thrilled at the election results. I don’t have time to go into to it but that election and progress cause so many harsh feelings in my household. i think it may take until the term is over to fully heal, but that is the place I am play for those in authourity agreed or not.

Happy New Year! May God bless you and America!!!!!!

I just stumbled across your blog today and I was instantly hooked by your experience. I too have experienced something similar with a close friend. It’s difficult telling people “no” in general, but even more difficult to tell those we love “no.” I think your friend should be more understanding. I mean, she should see that you obviously would help her if you could, because you have already done so. You didn’t just say no the second time just because, you had your reasons. I’m sorry you had to s=experience this, but I do believe that God doesn’t give us more than we can handle. I applaud your honesty with your friend, even if she didn’t get the answer she was looking for, you stayed true to her and yourself. Kudos!
