| Appropriate. Forget-me-nots |
How often have you heard, "hey, we should get together, give me a call!" and they walk off. You realize you don't have their phone number and ask for it. You put it in your phone and actually give them a call only to hear nothing on the other end. Nothing such as no one picks up or ever call you back when you leave a message. I've also been invited to dinner to, "get me out of the house." Okay I'll bite, so I call and you hear a familiar voice and so you say hello. She asks, "who is this?" I say my name and a response of, "Well so and so is not here I will give her the message." At this point you realize the invitation was actually wasted breath for lack of anything else to say. How many times do we fall for this?
The other one I like is, "Oh I am so glad to see you. Its nice to see you out. You look good. We need to get together. I'll give you a call." You're
polite and say, "Oh I would love that Thank-you." but deep in your heart you know you will never hear from this person. Guess what, you never hear from the person.
This is what I call setting a widow up for false sense of hope that others do care and the hope that someone won't mind our company. Unfortunately, most of us only hear from these folks if there is something involved meaning taking up your entire day, or a laying of hands to heal you.
