Мальчик лет десяти, дрожа от холода, босиком стоял у витрины обувного магазина и, не отрываясь, смотрел на тёплую обувь. К нему подошла одна дама и спросила:
- Мой маленький друг, что ты с таким интересом рассматриваешь за этим стеклом, о чём думаешь?
- Я прошу Бога, чтобы Он мне дал одну пару ботинок, - ответил мальчик.
Дама взяла ребёнка за руку и вошла с ним в магазин. Она попросила продавца принести шесть пар детских носков и спросила, может ли тот принести таз с тёплой водой и полотенце. Служащий принёс всё, о чём его попросила дама. Она повела мальчика в заднюю часть магазина, сняла перчатки, вымыла ребёнку ноги, высушила их полотенцем. Продавец принёс носки. Дама надела одну пару на ноги ребёнку, затем примерила и купила ему ботинки, попросила завернуть остальные носки и отдала их мальчику. Потом она погладила его по голове и сказала:
- Теперь, без сомнений, ты чувствуешь себя намного лучше.
Она развернулась, чтобы уйти. В этот момент мальчик дотянулся до её руки и, глядя на неё со слезами на глазах, спросил:
- Вы жена Бога?

“My Mom once told me that she walked into a room where a couple of friends were discussing her, they didn’t know she was there. She shook her head, smiled and walked away.
My Mom also told me that she had a friend who talked bad about her, she never knew that Mom found out, Mom never mentioned it. She smiled and walked away from this friendship.
She told me she had family who chose to shift her out of their life because she stood up for herself for a change. And because she stopped crossing oceans for them when they would not even help her cross a bridge. She smiled, shook her head and walked away.
So I asked her how she could just walk away from people that betrayed her while pretending to be her friends or family?
She answered that every time she came to a crossroad like that, she had to decide who will be going forward on her journey with her. This showed her who she cannot take along with her.
So she explained to me that you should never get mad at a person who betrays you, even in the name of friendship or family. Just gracefully bow out and enjoy your journey 🙌
