Hit a bump. One that I have to laugh about, but at the same time, praise God for the opportunity to share God's love with someone who seems very lonely.
A Linked In message came last night. Very complimentary. Alarm bells went off. Along with lots of laughter. Who'd be interested in a 70 year old great grandmother who's been very happily married for more than 50 years?
My first step when a guy shows an interest in me is to ignore it. Mostly because I can't believe it. I'm well aware that men can turn a situation into "He said, she said" in a heartbeat and I don't want the hassle. It also expresses a loneliness in them that makes me feel sorry for them.
Debbie Macomber talked about her messages from guys in prison. Jill Briscoe said if a guy has never hit on you, "Don't worry, someone will." The amazing part of that is she's a pastor's wife.
Second message came this morning with the question, "Are you married?" I can't play dumb on that one. So I told him I'm a happily married 70 year old great-grandmother, but my first love is the love of God. Hope he got the message.
