Two friends grew up as sisters. They laughed together, cried together, PLAYED together, PRAYED together and PREYED together. They knew all of each others deepest darkest secrets and made a vow to take some of those things to the grave. They were both very gifted in very different ways. One friend was very supportive and so proud of her friend for maximizing her gift; wishing that she could do the same with her own and patterning the behaviors of her friend hoping that doing so would get her one step closer. While the other friend had no appreciation for the others gift, did not support her, and spoke negatively of her behind closed doors. The first friend was aware of her friends doings, but she kept quiet. She had her reasons. One day she learned of a third party conversation that her sister had with someone else. She was floored when she heard all the ugly things that her sister had to say about her. She thought that she felt the same love for her; BOY was she wrong. She reminisced on all of her childhood memories, all of which included her sister. She thought about things that they had done together and things they would do in the future. All the memories shared. She felt that if she had it, her sister had it too and vice versa.... no questions asked. She was obviously on her own in that department. Her initial reaction was to flip out, then it was hurt and disappointment. She remembered what it was like to hurt others and knew what hurt felt like. Even though she was hurt, she would never want to hurt anybody in that way;ESPECIALLY her sister. She loved her sister and decided that the only way to handle this situation was with love.... Her grandmother always said, "You get more with shuga" Ahhhhhh people.....We have to be careful of that Pink Tornado. Your WORDS are one of those things in life that you cant take back. You cant control how your words are received by others and you cant control ones reactions to your words. There are families that have been in turmoil for years because of some ugliness that someone said and letting pride take them to the grave without clearing up a mess that they probably dont even remember the reason for. Friends if you have an issue with your friends/family, talk to THEM about it...not everybody else. HURT feelings can at times cause more damage than a bullet. Be mindful..... God PLEASE HELP ME to handle disappointments with love. Let my willingness to follow your example in all things rub off on others around me and recreate or establish positive relationships that are founded on the kind of love that you would have us to display. Wrap your arms around wounded hearts and give us a willingness to forgive while reminding us that we are forgiven.......#Achosenpeople# AMEN!!!!
