hard situations that hurt us deeply

Hi guys,
I understand your pains too! :(
As simple as this situation may seem to you all, I was still bothered greatly by the following.  Just yesterday I was sitting at the roller rink watching my son skate away in delight (I was the first homeschool mom to arrive there.  Well every Friday this is what we hs'ers all like to do in the Winter time, plus we have the rink to ourselves since the public schooled kids are still in school.  And so in comes what used to be a friend and her kids; she went and sat all the way at the end of the seating area, away from me.  then all of the other mothers and children came in and did the same thing.  I mean, I have been with these women for over three years day in and day out at times, and they act like they never knew me.  (I did ask the first mom..."What, you can't say hello?" and she insincerely smiled at me.  All of the other women did the same thing, walked in, ignored me, and sat together in their little clique.)  I did pray for love though.  One woman came over and spoke to me and I invited her to sit and she did for a while and then went back and sat with the others.  These are supposedly the cream of the crop type of BELIEVERS!   So, ME AND THE LORD sat there together as I did some paperwork. Life IS painful at times, but, worth it in the long run.  Who knows, maybe one day we might be assigned to help Christ to rule and reign over their lives in order to teach them righteousness! :o ;)

Yeah, that would hurt!!  Just be thinking of the one lost sheep that DID come over and speak, and try not to worry about the others.  Were their kids friendly toward Daniel???

Try to remember that they just DON'T know what you know, and they can't help themselves.

love ya lots,
gena

Ah, Susan, that's a hurtful thing. I'm sorry they treated you like that. One thing I'm learning in my own life is that we cannot control what others do. Not at all. It's too bad they lost out on a blessing by being with you. Also, it really can't feel good for them being so unloving.

Thank you for your encouragement Gena and Ursula!  No Gena, these parent and their kids just ignore Daniel and are all very easily offendable if he just says hi to them; thank God that HE has given Daniel a heart of unconditional love, compassion for them and forgiveness.  He does not get easily offended at all.  I do remember that they don' know what I know, and I too realize that they don't want to know either.  I have spoken a few of these BT's with some of them and now they all know what I believe; and of course they are adamantly opposed to them.  God has them there and HE is teaching me that it's just HE and I alot of times anymore... which I can handle ;) :D

Hi Everyone,

This single verse sprung into my mind while reading this thread;

Act 14:22  Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

We all need to encourage and edify each other in the knowledge that this obstacle course gauntlet we pass through here in the flesh was specifically designed for each and every person he has drawn to a higher calling.

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe
