Do you find it annoying when people get all emotional about prayers....theirs and other people?
My daughter is having some serious surgery tomorrow. It could be life changing.
My dad’s wife called me and sniffled and cried for 10 minutes because one of her coworkers said a beautiful prayer for my daughter. The coworker said her (little) kids have beautiful prayers. My dad’s wife burst into tears when she told me the coworker would have her kids pray for my daughter too.
Thoughts and prayers is one thing, but she just went on and on and on about the power of prayer. I just made “Uh huh” noises.
An evil side of me wanted to blurt out “Um…I’m an atheist by the way!!” That would have shocked her sensless since, as far as she knows, I’m still a practicing born again Christian. Normally someone saying they’ll pray I take it as the kind gesture it was meant to be, but she was SO over the top.
This is the same person who is convinced the the early bloom of a flower on a bush was the work of my deceased father.
