I know it.
...Oh, you will have that opportunity... I know it.<br /><br />God works that way... you and I know it.<br /><br />I had a similar experience when I was in High School. A teacher called out one of my friends for not using deodordant, and people laughed. I wasn't one of them. She didn't know that he came from a very poor family, and I was humiliated for him, and ashamed of her.<br /><br />Two days later they announced that he had died working on a farm with his brother.<br /><br />I think of that often, because she was married to a Minister. I can't help but wonder what went through her mind when she was told he had died.<br /><br />We find Jesus in the most amazing people. We just have to be open, and "fear not", because they are different.<br /><br />What a wonderful blog, and what a beautiful heart you have. You're so truthful and open with yourself and your feelings.<br /><br />You inspire me.Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990251768655459821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55970807966534094.post-23323026572668432052010-07-09T12:47:53.896-04:002010-07-09T12:47:53.896-04:00I am so blessed and rebuked by your blog on second...I am so blessed and rebuked by your blog on second chances. Who among us does not want/need a second chance? I love your candor. I love hearing from others about the things the Lord is teaching. I am so grateful that He is faithful...even when I am not.Your writing reveals your tender heart. That is refreshing. I was amazed that after 40 years the Lord would give you that opportunity, and you took it. I had a similiar experience as a fifth grader of mocking a boy in our class who was visibly different from the rest of us. Through the years I thought on it with shame. I, too, repented of that, but I never had the opportunity to apologize to that person. He is not living, and I'm not sure when he died. I believe that he was a believer, however. Thank you for this lesson this day. Have a wonderful weekend.Deidranoreply@blogger.com
