Bless their hearts...

In the south, we have this saying “bless their heart” as a polite way of saying someone is a french fry short of a happy meal or as dumb as a bag of hammers.

Yesterday while working, I had the tv on so I could see Nik Wallenda’s interview on ‘The View’. Normally I don’t watch this show because Joy Behar and Barbara Walters make me want to crawl through the screen and shake them till their teeth rattled and then slap some sense into them. They really ask some of the dumbest questions sometimes. When Nik was asked why he kept referring to God as he walked the tight rope, he said he had strong faith and belief in God and that he was thanking God for all the talents He had given him. Barbara asked if he really believed God held him on the wire, he told her he knew that God had equipped him with everything he needed to do it and that if something did happen he knew where he was going. Joy then sarcastically said “So if you had fallen, you think you would have gone to heaven. How do you know that?” Nik calmly said “Yes, I do because of my faith and belief in Jesus I know where I am going when I die.” What she did after he said that is what reminded me of why I do not care for this woman… You could hear her say “humph” and see her roll her eyes! True professionalism Joy! NOT!!

This incident and the Paula Deen uproar (that’s another story for another day. Stay stewing on that one) had me in a rather foul mood all day yesterday. This morning it was still on my mind when I got out of bed. While making coffee I basically screamed under my breathe in frustration. Why was I still stewing over something that happened yesterday and something I had no control over? A little while later, it came to me… “well little Missy, you should have prayed about it last night!” YES I clearly heard that in my head! Ha! God speaks my language!

I truly believe in order for God to “bless their hearts” (and mine), I need to pray for their hearts to be blessed in such a way that they (Barbara and Joy) will believe and know that when someone praises God, that God truly does exist and they STOP mocking God and peoples beliefs in Him!

Ok …. Stepping off the “rant box” and going to pray.

May God truly bless their hearts and your today!
