One women was in a hurry to reach office, That morning she accidentally hit her 3 year old with her handbag as she was coming through the door. She said “Oh Mum you hit me!” She responded, “But darling I didn’t mean it, so why are you cracking up at me?” “But you did hit me Mum. You hit me and it hurts.” “But she said I didn’t mean it sweetie – ok?” Then she realized that actually – No it’s not ok. Whether it is intentional or not it needs to be recognized as pain that you have caused another. It really does. She had a little red mark on her forehead and it was in fact her mistake, whether she meant to do it or not. So she kept her handbag down, leaned forward and asked her to show me the mark. Then gave her a Magic Kiss and said sorry, then gave her a cuddle. No more was spoken about it. It was a really easy thing to do. Much easier than arguing and saying -“It’s not my fault because I didn’t mean it!” Yes; A lot of things are not intentional but they still need to be recognized as pain. How hard is it to just face someone, hug them and apologise? Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor and philosopher said, “Waste no more time arguing about what a good man or women should be. Be one.” Philippians 2:14-17; Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Hold firmly to the word of life.
