Don’t let them touch you

Linda Lee Adams/Lady Quixote

I really, REALLY needed to read this today! I also needed to read Psalms 94, which another blogger shared this morning. Thank you Pastor Dave, and thanks to Cindy Dawson, author of the blog Real Christian Women, for your timely posts!

A very abusive ex, who almost caused my death twice, will be there today and Sunday, and also on Monday, for a celebration of my granddaughter’s wedding.

Grace for my Heart

It’s Narcissist Friday!

(Continuing the series: “For My Grandchildren”)

From the time you were little, your parents and others have told you that people were not supposed to touch you in certain ways. Certain parts of your body were yours alone, and others were not supposed to touch them. This was especially true regarding people who were not your parents or doctors.

You didn’t understand this at the time, but the reason was that touch is a powerful action that breaks down boundaries. Once a boundary is crossed, it is far easier for someone to cross it again. Many teenagers felt this as they dated and experienced relationships.

As an adult, you may have begun to understand that even “innocent” touch can be manipulative and intrusive. There are people who use touch to control, and it works. From shaking hands to an arm around the waist, touch is used by…

      BETH!! Guess what just now happened! A pastor friend from Albuquerque, who sends a daily Bible verse by text to a couple of hundred people, just sent out his daily text. It’s a verse from Psalms 94!!!!!! This was totally God!!!!!

    We will be praying for you! I’ve had to deal with a similar situation, several years ago, at my granddaughter’s graduation. The Lord brought me through and he will do the same for you. 🙌❤️

    Excellent material. Sadly, I’m afraid this is a problem that isn’t going to be solved until the Lord returns, human nature being what it is. But at least the word is out there these days that women don’t have to just put up and shut up.

      Thank you, Anna. This has been an amazing time. The wedding was so precious. And tomorrow, we are all going to Hershey Park to celebrate my granddaughter’s birthday. Wow, I need to get to sleep.
