Left Stupefied...

Does anyone else find the irony in what people say they are thankful for, compared to what their actions scream...

I thought I'd share a few things that have caught me of guard.

Take family for instance, a "friend" of mine put on facebook how thankful she was of her friends and family. She wouldn't know what she would do without them. However, within the next 30 minutes she had texted me about two of her siblings and what they were not bringing to Thanksgiving dinner. She also explained that she was hoping that the family would only stay to eat and leave as she had other things to do....

I am thankful for my children, one co-worker said to me. Yet she berated them and tore down their self esteem. I'm not sure if they actually know how to be giving. I am frustrated in how they have not achieved.  To me respect and understanding goes a long ways. It saddened me that my own son of the same age noticed these actions of the parent and child and questioned the relationship.

I am thankful for my marriage.... this one seems to be interesting for me lately.
I had someone admit to me that she just needs to make it two more years for her son to be out on his own and then her marriage would be better. The husband is not a fan of kids and she knew this going into the marriage  years ago. So being the puzzled nosy type of person, I asked why she married the man if she knew that it would be that hard.
Her comment has taken the cake at leaving me the most speechless of all..
"because I knew how my bread was getting buttered and I wasn't letting go of that butter churn...."

So as you can see, these three incidents happened this last couple of weeks leaving me to be somewhat
dumbfounded! Speechless.... or for a better word.... Stupefied!
