You are indeed blessed and have a special talent. The Holy Spirt’s plan is use you to reach out to us readers in this wonderful way. I look forward to writings each Saturday; sometimes digging through the archives tab when Mary and Fr. Eke post their Sunday/Monday blogs too early. Well done and I look forward to your writings.

Often in the past I have not been able to find a suitably cutting response when someone has said something nasty to me. Now I thank God that I didn’t add more hurtful words to those said to me. God is good in keeping us quiet sometimes.

Your reflection hit home today. Saint Theresa of Calcutta came to mind…be kind anyway, love anyway etc.

The kindest people I know being accused. It hurts me and I have tried to pray for “those who persecute” but only by God’s grace can I “pray anyway”

God bless you all!

As I recall, said you’ve been known to be a “Hothead”.
I’m guessing you mellowed a bit over the years.
Peace ✌

What always tests my patience is being transferred from automated attendant to automated attendants and then finally getting to that human who has to put you on hold or transfer you because they don’t know the answer. At that point I want to explode at who ever I can…I want to blame them for my frustration. As I’ve matured in faith I’ve become much better at handling these situations, but the temptation is always there. I think all you human tella-service people need a big round of applause and lots of prayers to get through your days with God’s joy as I think you often likely catch the blame for things you weren’t responsible for.

All points well taken that facing accusations under circumstances either misunderstood or fabricated to find fault are difficult to deal with. Emotions run high, anger sets in and before you know it…things get ugly. We have all been there. Perhaps stepping back and asking “what would Jesus do?” might bring light to the situation…seems like a the answers are always there. Peace with you my brother.
