Recently my four year has started saying "somebody" in reference to himself. For example, if he falls, he will say,
"Uh oh, somebody fell."
"Somebody" also takes mommy's drink, gets a boo boo, etc.
My son's new quirk has had me thinking. Especially as I spent time with mom today. How often do we play the blame game? How often do most of us hold onto hurts because "somebody" did us wrong?
I thought about this a lot today as I was critized for where I parked, what I ordered for my kids to eat...as far as somebody is concerned, I just never do right.
Here are some more "sonebodies" of mine that I use like crutch that prevent me from moving forward:
Somebody abused me
Somebody assaulted me
Somebody rejected me
Somebody did not love me
Somebody did not accept me
I know a lot of people have suffered worse than me. And i do not downplay the experiences of others it my own. But Im slowly realizing that I let these things keep me from having the quality of life that god wants for me. I let my past determine my future everytime I live in it instead of the now. Somebody hurt me, somebody didn't treat me right, but that was then. Im here in the now. I don't have to walk in those chains any longer.
Let me add one somebody to everyone's list.
Somebody died on the cross so we could be set free
