Does anyone elses conscience always weigh heavy when youve done something you shouldnt have? I always felt like I could never get away with anything!!!! Sometimes I felt like it was a plague that followed me around! lol I can remember when I was about 15 years old and I was going through a hard time in school. You couldnt pay me enough money to relive my teenage years. Anyway, I can remember calling my mom at work. At the time she worked at Stone and Thomas in the alteration department. She barely made minimum wage which was maybe $4-5 dollars an hour, if that. Missing work wasnt something we could really afford for her to be doing, but I called anyway. I felt like I was desperate and needed someone to talk to. I had been doing things I should have been doing and my conscience was really bothering me. I ask her if she could come home that I had some things to tell her. She didnt give me the third degree before she got there, she just came on home. Mom was always pretty calm nature and wasnt one to rage. (Unlike myself) She came in calm and simply set down. I can remember thinking, arent you upset that I just called you to come home because I had something to tell you? Myself, I would be thinking the worst, but she didnt. I guess she had already had it set in her heart that no matter what I was getting ready to tell her that it would be okay, or thats how it came across to me. It made it so much easier to spill my guts. I did too. I started telling her all the bad stuff I had been doing. At that point I wanted a clear conscience rather than fearing my punishment. My mom listened without interrupting me, without screaming at me, without telling me how horrible and disobedient I was. She never told me that it was okay for what I done. She didnt have to, she had been teaching me the correct way all my life. I already knew it was wrong. After getting it off my chest I tried doing better. I still made mistakes along the way. You know something? Never to this day did my mom throw up to me the things I confessed to her. Never once did she get mad at me and use them agaisnt me. Like I said she never said it was okay, but she also never stoned me either. She just reminded me of what was right. If she had been the type of parent that would have been on my case constantly I think I would have been more rebellious and snuck and tried to hide stuff from her. In life we can teach our children what is right and wrong, there is also a time that they will make decisions for themselves. I know that my kids will not always walk a perfect line but I also want them to know that no matter what, I will always love them unconditionally. I also pray that thier conscience eats them alive when they are in to no good!!! ;) Weve got to be friends to others if we want to direct people back to the correct way. Stoning doesnt solve one thing. Have a great day! God loves you and so do I. Hey mom, can you call me? I have something to tell you!! Heeee heeeee just kidding! Olita Sissy Daniels Scites!!!
