Dead (to self) people don’t get offended. I love that.

Sometimes I think about how much God just loved, loved, loved me when I first met him. How he just let so many things pass without even a hint of conviction because He knew in his mercy how much I could take at once. I don’t know if that makes sense. Or if it even relates to the topic of holding your tongue sometimes. But I felt the need to share.

Thank God I’m not the offender…I was beginning to wonder;) Great words and thoughts…indeed. Just the other day I said to some one…”I’m so thankful I’m not God …it’s just too big of a job and I REALLY don’t want it” So, Lisa, just keep trying Keith’s instruction to turn it over….it sounds like you’re making progress! Yes, and Amen~

Does this person know that what she said was rude?
Not meaning to, but sometimes I say things before I think about what I am saying and I can offend people and sometimes I say things and the way that I say them people take them the wrong way.
I pray to God to help me be more mindful of my words and slow down.
P.S.
It took seeing someone’s reaction to my words for me to realize this. I wish someone would have said something to me sooner.
