If Clawing Another's Back While Upon One's Knees Was Not Enough to In Prison Oneself.....

We all have been created by God with the ability to create with our words and our actions.

 

When our word choices are kind and pure accompanying courteous, cordial behavior respecting each persons natural boundaries;

We create for ourselves and others a peaceful atmosphere that draws others to naturally respect, honor and enjoy our company.

 

However those who choose to force themselves on others will never receive their friendship...

For love & friendship can never be forced for then it ceases to be love but coercion.

 

And honoring someones strange brash and or aggressive  behavior such as the old white haired female, who I think is a widow at our church, who is both a Eucharistic Minister and typically loudly leads the Rosary before every early morning Holy Mass...who one late afternoon saw my husband & I in the locally family owned grocery store.

 

She could have smiling  possibly said: "Good afternoon!  And good to see you...my name is______ what is yours??" what she did was barrel us down practically splitting us physically apart from each other with her shopping cart as she says justifying her sin as she presses over us..." Lets see Iiiiiiiii need to get right there!"

 

Well God's Holy Word says:  "What God has joined let no man divide."  And it is the responsibility of each married couple to protect the covenant of their own marriage.

So you know that this old woman simply desired our friendship but since she could not or would not approach us in a normal cordial way,

she forfeited what she most desired our friendship.

 

And the irony is that we too long to have friends but since folks have done this and even...tried to drive over us in the St Joseph parking lot to "force a meeting or conversation" and all they too desired was friendship...

Both they and we remain lonesome at times.  But we can never condone another's sin or not only do we take part in their sin setting ourselves up to be continually abused...

We would lose HIS anointing upon our lives.  And so we will instead sacrifice friendship so as to not lose our God....for HE was the stone the builders rejected and we in union with HIM likewise though we have HIS best part... we too will be hated and despised that we refuse to take part in their folly.

 

But never allow yourself to become blue over these who dress by spray painting their clothes on!

They could have what we have chosen...they simply have chosen not!

 

So sing Hallelujah that though they are in a prison of their own making....we remain free indeed without needs that HE cannot nor will not meet!

 

Amen Amen Amen!
