I was put to the test on this anger thing last night. Kaylee came over at about 630 wanting to stay the night. Of course, she is here and we’ve had a fabulous time. At about 7 I kinda get tired of watching cartoons and go to take a bath. While I’m in the tub Kaylee comes in w a box of brownies wanting me to cook them. I told her when I get out of the tub but while I’m in the tub I started thinking about the ingredients for the brownies and I’d have to go get eggs. So, when I got out I ask her if she wants to go get a brownie and some ice cream at baskin robbins. We drive there and they don’t have the cake I was talking about at this one but it has banana split on the menu so her and I converse about what she wants and then we go to order. I tell the person at the counter she’d like a banana split, please. You would have thought I had asked this person for their birthright or something… they were utterly appalled that someone was ordering ice cream. It was a reaction of whats really inside the heart of this person. No response but a terrible reaction bc of a banana split 😩 I was pissed off bc of the disrespect! I mean there is an appropriate way to say I’m sorry we don’t have the ingredients to make that, it shouldnt be on the menu. Instead they were irate and mouthy! Had this person maybe run across me a few years ago… well, we need not go there, the outcome prolly wouldn’t have been the same. When we were up there to pay this person was still mouthy, bc I said something about how inappropriate their reaction was and that this person obviously didn’t have the capacity to respond, kinda like a knee jerk reaction. And, it was time to work on their heart. The mouthiness was so constant the attendant checking us out apologized.
I could hear this person huffing and puffing and it was here I smiled. 😊 Maybe I was a little antagonistic 🤣
When we got home I came in my office and went to talking to Daddy. Why did that encounter piss me off so badly?
It was the hate, bitterness and anger this person had that irritated me. It was how they thought it was ok to be a bitty. It’s not! It’s not ok to treat people any other way than you want to be treated!
This little confrontation made my baby ask a bunch of questions… mainly why? Why did they get so mad over a banana split that’s on their menu? Bc their hearts are flooded w hate was the only answer I had. I called my power back and we prayed for the attendant.
