The straw broke the camel's back when, due to her issue with me, she wouldn't let her daughter invite my son...they are very good friends...to her birthday party. I mean, how do you deal with a grown woman who would use her children so? I've remained friendly, smiley and kind but I'm fighting the urge not to just trip her up next time I see her.....*L* I obviously won't, but I can dream, can't I?<br /><br />So, thank you for this post and if you have any suggestions how to deal with this person, pleeeasse share! xHelen McGinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09154777115558663250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-58383931835915950262009-10-05T02:07:37.108-07:002009-10-05T02:07:37.108-07:00I'm going to have to remember this one.

I don't think she has ever had a good day in her life. I pray for her often. Thanks for the term, I'm sure I'll be thinking of it on a daily basis.Brian the old manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758843142806407239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-62414712239215358272009-10-02T19:57:20.304-07:002009-10-02T19:57:20.304-07:00Oh yes I do, and I am not very good at hiding my f...Oh yes I do, and I am not very good at hiding my feelings...People are funny, aren't they.

I had a girl I worked with I had a really hard time with so I would try extra hard to acknowledge the positives about her all the time. After awhile, she started acting on the positive feedback I was giving her and was much nicer to us around her. <br /><br />I'll definitely remember EGR in the future! :)Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08485678756515392177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-26886868278572884812009-10-02T14:17:10.306-07:002009-10-02T14:17:10.306-07:00great post...love the name!

I think in cases like her, letting her get the better of you is just not fair. I try and save my energy for more important things... like my family. You know all too well that my momma bear instinct kicks in from time to time, and God only knows I need some extra grace! She's on a journey too. WWJD? Invite her on a walk?

I love the soft way you are dealing with her, and the fact that you aren't holding onto bitterness, which is so very easy for us to do when someone is generally offensive. Your approach to her will really bless others girl! Thanks for sharing this encouragement, as we all have some extra grace recipients in our atmosphere! <br /><br />Blessings, <br />SashaLemonade Makin' Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404173701815078504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-84773121313281029182009-10-02T10:36:49.023-07:002009-10-02T10:36:49.023-07:00I dislike rude people too.
