I had a nice blessingg the other day. My hubby said that the Q was asking where clients were going to go for Thanksgiving, what they wanted to do.
This one said they were going to my hubby's (our place). He hadn't even mentioned or asked this person. So I found it encouraging that that was what they were thinking of, that they would consider us like that.
I mean this is considering we don't have the fanciest place, actually right now it's pretty cramped. I'm not the greatest cook (not horrible either, but not great). It's not like they're just looking for a free meal, they can get that where they're at. Then there is my relative around who can do something wacky- sometimes to an extreme. Still they mentioned us. Must be the anointing. So I felt good, happy- like maybe something I've done afterall makes a difference.
I know some think that a person like this doesn't matter after all, who cares what they would think. This is exactly the kind of thing I like to counteract. If I can help make someone like that feel valued, loved- then I've done something that mattered and not wasted my time (life). I suppose I have, that will be left to judgement day to see for sure- but it's nice to be reminded. That helps motivate me, encourage me, helps keep frustration and futility away.
I'd rather not entertain at my place (wherever that might be), distracts away from my being a good host & keeping people entertained and happy.
So am I going to do something for the holiday? Funny I had forgot about it, thinking about a bunch of other practical stuff. I think God also used this to break through my "hamsterness". OK well I'd rather take people out like to the Golden Corral. Not sure if I'd have the money though (although any kind of Thanksgiving is never cheap anyway). It's a lot less stress than having people over besides cleaning and cooking, then trying to balance if we're making a stop somewhere else and then my relative always has to get upset about something on the holidays....
I better decide quick.
I looked into an old close friend of mine, and their page is private now, they just had some wild picture up (w/ some nasty stuff) with I take it is their best friend or something. I'm considering this because I'm suprised at myself, how nothing I feel about this. This friend of theirs I believe has gotten them into a lot of trouble, helped mess a lot up. However, I know it was this persons choice to go along with it. I believe they have they greater responsiblility. I feel kind of bad for this person, a see them like from the Bible, like God said about the people from Nineva- "that they don't know their right hand from their left" discernment wise. I was the same way. My old friend however knows better. They were raised around the truth and good examples of Christ and Christianity.
The worst I feel is for their kids, to have a mom running around like a "pop star" or something. I guess that's a kind of norm these days, moms running around clubbing and such. Thankfully when I did all that I didn't have kids. They used to be a great responsible mom, before all this. i know that's what they wanted to avoid before- and here they are. One thing leads to another and things you weren't planning on, get connected to something else...
