I’ve been around the sun more than a few times since I was born. It goes without saying that things in this world have changed…quite dramatically. My generation was raised to be kind and to respect others. We gave up our seats for our elders, we didn’t talk back to our parents (or get away with it), and we respected authority, at least outwardly. Even if we didn’t agree with other people, we were taught that “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything.” Fast forward to today, where people feel the need to comment as rudely as they want, without knowing the facts behind what is going on most times. And you are wrong if you don’t agree with what they are putting out there, so they won’t skip a beat to tell you so. It’s hard to feel compassionate for those types of people, yet scripture encourages us in Ephesians 4:32 to "be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” Most days I just roll my eye...

ReplyDeleteI am so glad for you!!! I'm sad for Calvary---what a gem they will be losing! Will you have to plan the wedding from Cleveland??
Love you lots!!
Julie
We are hoping to still be in our house for the wedding. If God has other plans then we'll do things from Cleveland. Being the parents of the groom, we don't have as much responsibility as the Lloyds have so it will be fine wherever we end up.
