My youth pastors wife criticized me...?

[petitetank647]

I have an Atheist friend that finds curse words offensive. One of his big objections is that curse words limit your vocabulary. There are so many other words available, that would pinpoint the issues much more clearly. Curse words also limit the kinds of jobs you can get later in life. Foul language has a way of slipping out accidentally, at the most inappropriate times. We think of Peter going off as Jesus was being accused. His foul mouth was to show that he was definitely not a follower of Jesus. Then Jesus looked at Peter as the crow began to crow a third time. Peter hurt and felt so ashamed, as he realized how his foul language had hurt his close friend Jesus. What is posted is out there for all to see. Once it is out there, you can't erase from your friends minds that you would stoop to the level of uneducated people that aren't out to better themselves, or those around them. I would have appreciated if she would have kindly spoken to me about it first, and given me a chance to decide how I would handle it. Your mom is most likely much more aware of what you are doing than she lets on. The pastor's wife would most likely rub salt in her wound. Do you get along well with your mother, and respect others, besides just your friends? Have you tried to pray for this woman that bothers you? Working with young people is not an easy challenge, as you are aware of. You could pray for God to grant her the gift of discernment, as well as love, and kindness. Ask God to send the Holy Spirit to the both of you, to help you both learn to appreciate each other, and become friends. May God bless you both with peace and joy.
