On Saying I am Sorry.....

Today I will attempt to apologize to 

someone that I spoke harshly to.

In a situation where I do not know this

person and she does not know me some

emails and phone messages hit me the

wrong way.  

She was shocked when I took offense at 

the things she said.  

I was incredulous that she didn't get how

offensive those things were.

I have struggled and prayed for the past 

couple of days.  This morning I tried to 

hear her words in a different way.

Hopefully in the way she meant them.

In one of these conversations it came to 

light that she did not comprehend much 

of the information I had sent to her in this situation and 

was dealing with a wrong understanding herself.

She had not even opened a critical attachment.

So.......knowing that, I am trying to look at

this through her eyes and ratchet back the 

offense meter.  Sigh...............

Please pray for me as I do this thing 

that can be so hard.  

I still feel hurt.

But, I also know that 

I could have handled

it in a much better way.  

Please tell me that you have had to say you

were sorry and that it all came out great????

Well, even if it doesn't come out

great I will have done 

what I needed 

to do......
