I knew the day would come when I would have to do what He had asked me to do in regards to Sharon. I guess I need to back up a bit. While praying this past week – a thought completely foreign to me came into my head; “Thank Sharon for how well she treats Adam”.
I ran it past a few people. Three people I trust spiritually and look to for Godly advice when it is really needed. Of course all three of them pretty much came back with the same things: That is something you yourself would not think to do given the circumstances; if you say it is God – it is God; follow His will…
So anyway – today I did it. It was therapy and I figured they were all going to be there – that seems to be the common theme. T*&^, Becca and S)*^&* were there.
At the end of it when we were getting ready to leave - when outside the door – I tugged on her shirt sleeve and pulled her aside.
I thanked her for being so good to my baby when she is around him. I said it in a different way but that is what it came down to. She said something like it isn’t a problem because she loves the kid. I just responded with – I just wanted to say Thank You.
So I did it. I for the 1st time in a long time – actually followed His will.
It was hard to do. It was against everything in my being. Yet at the same I haven’t felt this calm in a really long time.
I did this today without knowing the outcome. I had no idea how she would react. I mean we used to be friends who in the world knows how she is going to me react to a thank you. I wasn’t sure if I would say it in a way that would be non-offensive.
So I did it – I trusted Him – Now I just need to wait and see I guess…
