I remember that lesson SO WELL. You give me too much credit though! My reaction was one of shock, not grace. :) After that lesson, I went to my car and cried and cried. I called a friend and cried more. I went for a walk and cried with God and told Him I WAS ANGRY AT THE MEAN LADY and I COULD NOT TURN MY CHEEK OR FORGIVE YET.
That lesson was a huge growing experience for me. It took me a long time to forgive and come to a place of peace. Knowing that you had my back there means a lot and it was a tender mercy to see your comment this morning. I still think about that lesson.
I hope someday to answer from a place of true meekness when things like that happen because, like you said, it’s okay to just let others have their opinions.
So good to hear from you.

I was in your ward for a short time, you were a relief society teacher. I enjoyed your lessons every time. Once a sister made a comment that was a little judgemental of something you said, believe me my jaw hit the floor. (I have been in Relief Society for years and in many different wards and had never heard anyone do that) You handled your self and the situation with Grace. I wanted to stand up for you, but you answered very meekly, and she quit. It was a good lesson for me. I tend to get a little riled if someone is rude to me, and watching you, made me recognize how much better it would be to bow out and let other’s have their opinions, it doesn’t mean my opinion changes because I don’t bicker with them, it just means we disagree.
