Beautiful!) So, I was looking around and the "mean people" title caught my eye. Of course, I knew it would be interesting! You really held my attention, we have all had those feelings at some time or another and I felt for you, and I was kinda hoping you'd say that you got the best of her, lol, and by telling this story on your blog, you kinda did. But I have to say that I was equally impressed and moved by your words from the Bible. We all need that lesson too, so thank you. I will be visiting routinely, you seem like a very interesting Christian woman and I love cheap crafts!

THANK YOU! These same things have been in my heart as of late. Without boring you with details, I am grateful beyond worlds for the perspective and sacred words you recalled to my mind. I am very excited to be called a follower of yours from now on!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07229210842038051845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426904414311245186.post-87146871889955966152011-02-01T17:44:00.269-05:002011-02-01T17:44:00.269-05:00Patty--wish I could contact you because we once ha...Patty--wish I could contact you because we once had a "mean" neighbor get our car impounded! :) I went into preterm labor at 34 weeks so my husband parked his house in front of her house in a panic.....our baby was in the hospital for 9 days and we completely forgot about the car.....she called the police! :) She later became a dear friend, but it was a rough beginning to our friendship!

I am amazed when people can keep it together (even if it's only on the outside). And YOU went a step further to try to help her understand! My parents have a MEAN and NASTY neighbor. She's MEAN to EVERYONE for no reason. One day when we'd rushed my dad to the doctor for something needing immediate attention, I had to park my car on their street in order to get their handicapped van out. When we got home, Ms. Meany told my mom to tell me NOT to park on the street anymore! Sorry - but I'd had it! I let her quickly know that we had an emergency AND the street was public property, and that I understood why everyone thought she was SO MEAN! Truly, I later felt bad and very un-Christian-like. But as far as I know....she hasn't given anyone a hard time in the last several months! Maybe she needed to hear it!Patty Hibblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135911881021763117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426904414311245186.post-32597155630742606152011-02-01T14:52:36.716-05:002011-02-01T14:52:36.716-05:00....that was an incredible post... first time visi.......that was an incredible post... first time visiting... first post I read... thanks for the wisdom...<br />ps mean people suck...

That is how I knew about it without calling anybody. Wrap this incident up to "what did I learn from this??" and move on. You are a terrific mom and I so appreciate your husband's willingness to act as our VOLUNTEER coach. The way she acted is in no way what this program is about either. Take care and know God is our refuge and strength.

Well if so...you really need to step it up a notch. I haven't had a raise in 8 years! ((sigh)) I keep those commments to myself. -Karenwillowbird35https://www.blogger.com/profile/18279726036560195237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4426904414311245186.post-80465387256834531892011-01-29T22:25:59.751-05:002011-01-29T22:25:59.751-05:00I can *so* totally sympathize with you.

I got threatened, yelled at, cussed at, my job threatened...and I felt much like you did today. Not to mention other unfortunate situations :( I think it's human nature (however imperfect) to instinctively want to respond "in kind" to this sort of attack. It is *very* difficult to just...let it roll off of you. Hope you're feeling better :)LP aka A Crafty Southern Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05752162282852409814noreply@blogger.com
