How many of you are going through a time of being misunderstood, of having your motives misjudged and your actions misinterpreted, of experiencing something that you meant to be taken one way being taken in quite a different light? When you are misunderstood about something, when somebody misjudges you, you have to ask yourself, have I really done anything wrong and does my conscience bother me about any part of this? Quite often it is those who judge who are in the wrong, condemning and labelling knowing they are misjudging. Much of the strife between people comes from their unwillingness to understand others, what they have been through and how some things affect them for life. Misunderstanding can lie hidden in the heart. You may think you have dismissed it or forgotten it, but actually it is just festering away, smoldering like a fire that refuses to go out and sometimes, unexpectedly, it bursts into flames; you are angry at somebody and you hardly realize why, but it is because something has been left unsettled. If we are upset about something, or we feel someone is upset at us, then we have to do something about it. The spirit in which we ought to handle misunderstandings is not to hurt in return, not to retaliate, not to try to get even because somebody has misunderstood us, but to explain it as plainly and simply and clearly as we can, always with the intention that if there is anything hurtful to be said that it be as minimal as possible, and that we affirm our love and our concern for the individual involved. Good Morning Everyone...it is raining this morning and quite mild..flooding has receded in many areas this morning, thankfully. I am hoping a stretch of dry weather comes our way soon..have a good day everyone.
