I would like to say that if that comment was meant to hurt me, Mr./Ms. Anonymous, you succeeded. I hurt FOR YOU. I am so sorry that something has happened in your life that has made you so suspicious of others. I have no hidden agenda for claiming that my children have been unhealthy. I never ask for money, donations, or gifts. I simply ask for prayers for my family when things are going "not so good" in our life. I realize that there are plenty of families out there that have much bigger problems and worries than ours. I don't post about things on here so that I can attempt to "compete" with others for attention. I would much rather post about boring, mundane everyday things. It would thrill me to no end to be able to go a week without dragging one person or another to the doctor or therapy or some type of specialist, but that is simply the way my life is. I accept my life for what it is and try to complain as little as possible. I LOVE each and everyone of my new blog friends and pray for them daily. I feel so fortunate to have you all in my life. With that being said, it is my sincere hope that you continue to read my story and continue to welcome me to read yours. I love reading my comments and emails from ALL OF YOU. However, if you feel the need to leave me a comment telling me the negative things you think of me, please leave your name so that I am able to respond to you in a polite, but private manner. I am quite capable of acting like a mature adult and it is my sincere hope, Mr./Ms. Anonymous, that one day you will find the ability to act like a mature adult as well. Until then, I will pray for your heart to soften.
As to the rest of my kind readers, thank you to those of you who defended me when you read that comment. I love you all very much and it did put a smile on my face to read that you felt the urge to defend me. I appreciate it very much, but those cruel anonymous people don't care who they hurt. I just wanted to say thank you for following my story and caring about my girls. I am lucky to have my bloggy friends!
In other news, Delaney is doing great today. She hasn't had a fever at all! She has actually been just about back to her smiley, little, cherub self today:)
You know, I have noticed that a lot of people have been getting negative comments when they share about their struggles. I read a lot of blogs about preemies or children needing prayer that have health issues and there seems to be a streak of negative anonymous comments on blogs. Hang in there and I appreciate your honesty and the way you handled the comment.
ReplyDeleteSometimes when I read some of the negative comments that some people make, I have to wonder, Are their lives 1/2 as wonderful as they seem to make it sound? Or I feel they have never experienced hardships and trials, and when they do, they are in for a hugh surprise. Who will they lean on then?
ReplyDeleteIf they don't know Jesus, they are going to be in big hurt.
I didn't address it to step on your toes, it's just they ticked me off and I needed to tell them how nasty I thought they were.
You hang in there.
Glad she is feeling better.
Unbelievable, that's the first thing that came to my mind. Then, I wondered to myself, could it be someone in McNabb Land messing around with you? You never know. I'm proud of how you approached the comment. I see Jesus in you:)
ReplyDelete...I was also really blown away by the gracious way you have handled that nasty comment posted by anonymous... But I really think you should delete it now, as it can't be helpful for you to have such negative words spoken into your life, even if He that is in you is bigger, better, stronger than he that is in the world. Get rid of it, and in so doing, you are saying 'no' to the father of lies. You really don't need to be reminded of these hurtful lies and downright evil words everytime you go to read your comments.
ReplyDeleteIm so glad Laney is better now :)
Take care
:D
