So, I am not a good communicator and I am asking God for the words to say.
We have a caregiver here helping me care for a family member who is on hospice. She is a democrat (likely) and mid 60s. I LOVE her as she is the most compassionate and kindest person, but she gets her news from social media and she is so way off on many things it makes me sad…
Through just conversations that arise, i have gotten her to wake up to some things. She now believes the vax is bad (no more boosters for her). Biden at least has dementia and the people behind him are out to destroy the US (talking to her about him sending money and oil overseas). She does not believe any MSM is telling the truth about anything. The same Antifa that infiltrated BLM and turned them violent, infiltrated J6 (I know antifa is not solely to blame for BLM looting and burning, but the point was well taken). She believes that not all people in any group are all bad or all good. She believes the Philadelphia kid was mentally ill not a “crazed Trump supporter. And the point that I drove home today is that the division and hate in our country is not going to be solved by the government, but by God. And that God wins in the end.
She never did believe Biden got 81 million votes, lol.
Today, she cried and hugged me for my words and that she feels God put her here to learn from me and be encouraged.
Please pray that I can continue to speak truth and in a way that opens her heart. Sometimes it takes dancing around an issue and not being too direct as to be offensive but still getting the point across.
Thank you!
Thank you! I think the fact that she and I are close to the same age helps. We have many things in common, like our feelings about entitlement and “kids nowadays”, lol, and she loves her gas-powered car, is ticked off about the green agenda, lol, and we both like the same old movies and old music. She is really dismayed about the mindset of young black people today and how the world owes them everything. I have shared that I think the mindset is pervasive, not just young black people, but it has been hammered into all young people - that big government will “save the day”.
Lots more, but we did have something to work with. I doubt a conversation with a 25 year old would go so well, lol.
Oh, and her twin sister is a conservative so it’s not the first time she’s heard some of this.
True, my son is 27 and is as conservative as can be - not all young people are that way for sure!
Sorry, I meant that we had some common ground because I’m old too, lol
Never fear, fren! God will provide the words He wants you to speak. Just have faith in Him and He will provide. Prayers headed your way!
