Thanks Recluse
I made the mistake of telling my then teenage son about the incident. One day he made me really angry and I was in his face yelling at him. When I was finished, he said with a straight face "What are you gonna do - hit me ina eye?"  I said "No, I'm gonna sheeeetz on you if you don't behave!" Ack, that kid always knows how to make me laugh - even when I'm furious.

Aw, SM - it's obvious you speak the language. The needle said "Here I am!"
I'd like to clarify something because it usually makes me very angry when I see people laughing at disabled people. I grew up with a very close friend with cerebral palsy, and it's a pet peeve of mine. It may appear I was trying to be funny at Suzie's expense - I wasn't. The "spiritually deficient" comment reminded me of Suzie because it's not possible for her to change her ways. I don't believe "ignorant" or "ugly" people are automatically spiritually deficient. I told the story because I considered Suzie to be filled with spirit, and I suspect I know where it came from.  The way I see it, I had three choices to respond to that incident, and we chose laughter. I refrained from laughing out loud when I was there because it would have encouraged her and made it harder for the social worker. I'm sure Suzie would have loved to have me join in her laughter. I thought it was funny because Suzie had such pride and joy on her face. I don't think it was only because of her use of that dirty word. I think it had more to do with her feeling a little empowered in her situation and relief that she could get whatever "abuse" occurred off her chest. So, yeah, HAHA - Suzie, you go girl! Another choice would be to ignore her. That would have been humanly impossible, unless I had a set of headphones. I'd never wear headphones out in public because I've always enjoyed being with people - especially new people I don't know. I sometimes get the opportunity to hear stories I've never heard before, if they are willing to chat.  The last choice would be to judge her as disgusting based on her language and table manners. I REFUSE to judge someone based on that criteria, even if they are able-bodied. Words are just words. I suspect God is strong enough to handle a dirty word now and then. I doubt he'd be disgusted by someone awkwardly trying to nourish themselves.  Okay, I feel better now - thanks.

You go, Girl!!
 I've always contended that what people call "bad words" is a matter of preception. Words are just that, words. Some may show a lack of class, some may show a lack of intelligence, but it's mostly what people make out of them in their own minds. Suzie didn't know that difference. You obviously made the best choice you could at the time and it was a good choice! I also know that I can hurt someone terribly with well chosen words, not a single swear or low class word in the bunch, yet leave them wanting to crawl into the nearest hole and never come out again. So what's worse; a swear word that doesn't hurt anyone or anything or "high class" words than can lay someone out for life?

Everywhere we look, we can see the miracles of God's presence in each of our lives. Praise Him and thank Him for the beautiful blessings that you have in your life today.
We politely thank strangers for holding a door or refilling our drink at dinner and things of the like all the time. Doesn't God deserve the same courtesy and appreciation for all that He has done and continues to do for us? Yes, indeed He does! And so much more! |

 I thank God for close parking spaces and all such "little" things (to other people.)

((((((Sky))))))) I know what you mean there! Living with chronic pain myself, on those really bad days, that close parking place can be a wonderful blessing!

I used to pray for close parking spaces.
Now it doesn't matter because I don't have to walk anymore.

Most of my delayed prayers are usually "Thank you, God" prayers.

Is it me, or do we, as people, try to lead God where we want Him to go with us, i.e. wanting our own way?
