I'm sorry.... again....yikes....
Lately God has been letting me see how I am sometimes rude to people, even if it's in a nice tone, it's still rudeness. After cooking for the guys, one of the ladies came to my door. She is rude most of the time I see her, not just to me but to others as well. In her defense, I do believe she doesn't know she's being rude. But, she kind of yelled at me because the guys threw trash on her porch, the trash from the burgers I had just fed them. She was basically telling me that because I gave them burgers, it was my fault that they threw their trash on her porch. So, I responded with a smile and said with a little bit of an attitude, "Well, that's not my fault." She left hollering and jabbering on about how she's gonna beat them up. I went back to cleaning up, and in my heart felt that I should have responded to her differently. So the next morning I saw her while I was prayer walking and let her know that I should not have been rude to her. I said, "Let's work together and I'll tell them to put their trash in the dumpster and why don't you tell them not to hang out on your porch." She smiled and I gave her a hug, but she still complained about me feeding them. But, I think part of that is the general attitude that several of the ladies here have, and that is, they think I shouldn't feed the guys because their trouble makers and don't deserve it. If the ladies were deciding, the guys wouldn't get anything and thay would get hamburgers on Wednesdays. :) It's funny how God works. JESUS ministered to the people that no one liked and I'm so glad He's letting me do the same.
