That is wonderful you made some positive progress with that homeless person.

I normally didn’t meet up with the same hostile people again … only one other time though with that Walmart cashier and I just made sure she didn’t ring up my items.  I found another cashier that was sweet and accepted the Bible tract with joy.  So I think in that case I made the right decision.

One of my roommates my freshmen year in college was telling me her parents were Amish and victims of shunning… they weren’t married and her mom was pregnant at the time. So they moved away and started up a farm in Minnesota …. Her parents eventually got saved.  She was telling me a funny story about her brother.  He also attended the same college and was taking marketing classes.  There was this rich southern belle in his class who drove an expensive car and would wear diamond jewelry and fancy clothes. So many fellas were trying to get her attention but her eyes were on her plain dressed down to earth brother.  When she asked him what his dream was … he said I plan on taking over the family business … it wasn’t just any farm though … it was a pig farm. :mdrmdr:   She caved …  love does conquer all … it was a real life Green Acres romance.  I’m looking forward to meeting up with her in heaven and catching up with things.

Well, if it is meant to be, God will bring it about. He is so wonderful, that way. ❤️

At times our math teaches 70 x 7!

Then again, we only have 2 cheeks!

Turning the other cheek is a multifaceted endeavor!  Not haphazard but a deliberate act.

A show of love on behalf of our first love as well as an spiritual act of defiance challenging of evil directed towards us personally!

Whether we shake dust off our sandals and walk away increasing torments of hell or suffer for Christ as he suffered, as both are valid responses!

Point being, there is time to stand our ground, stand in the gap and times to stand against evil!
