Text Conversation I just had with my
baby girl (she’s 18 ya’ll)
Me: (A lady) we
both know asked about you today. She said you have a beautiful spirit. I was
thinking, “Yeah, I used to be like that before I started getting hurt by so
many fakes.” But I said, “Yeah? She
is—she’s like that most of the time too. I’ll tell her you asked about her.”
My daughter: "Awwwwww!
Thank you." Tell her I said, “Thank you!”
Me: I will.
My daughter: You’re
still sweet. And people have hurt me too unfortunately (Sad face). The world
doesn’t know how to treat kind spirits like you and me (another sad face).
Me: Yep. That
sucks! I heard Rick Warren say God never wastes a hurt. Instead of turning
evil; you can overpower evil with good. Awwww! Thanks. I’m still sweet? Oh. I
forgot to tell you that I saw another lady in passing the other day. You
remember; she was our neighbor. She said the same thing—that you have a really
sweet spirit. Sure did.
My daughter:
Awwwww! (multiple smiley faces)
Me: Jesus’ own
people hurt and rejected Him. He has a
sweet spirit also (whole heart).
My daughter: Yea,
that’s true. Awwwww (multiple hearts) (multiple smiley faces). I don’t talk to
people at my school . . . I stay to myself like (images of a person, books)
Lol. At least you socialize with people.
Me: I try. . .trying
to be led by the Holy Spirit I guess. You can’t talk to everyone, and everyone
is not your friend. Let God lead you. But yeah . . .don’t let life and
ignorant, dumb, stupid people make you bitter. Rise above it and be unique in
Christ. Guard your heart. Misery loves
company.
