Poise Under Pressure

I think we raise our kids well. We constantly teach them about loving God and people, having good manners, and being confident of themselves and in the things they do... we encourage them to be better... well my kids are not perfect so they have their flaws just like their momma.
Anyway...yesterday, Yanni went with us to dvo. It was my intention to show her what John and I do for a living. She was wearing her normal outfit... favorite purple blouse and shorts. She recently got chickenpox and the marks are still fresh and very visible. She doesnt mind those... scars dont define her beauty. She is secured though i gave her something to remove them because it can be done. But then... when we went to this mall to pay the utility bills of the condos... there was this young lady who bluntly told her ... "naga short unya sang daang peklat"... Yanni was just silent and told me about it when the girl was out of sight. I felt bad for Yanni. I forgot about these bullies who certainly exist.... I wanted to find the parent and do the Ronda moves (just kidding) ... I couldnt just get over it. Perhaps the parents of that girl were not taught well by their parents... attitude and manners are being passed on, I believe. I'm just glad Yanni doesnt nurse those kind of things... it didnt wound her heart. She handled it well.
I thank God for Yanni... for her VG leader as well for helping her see the beautiful things in life, to simply shake ugly things off. I wish im like Yanni who doesnt flinch when hearing unpleasant things against her. Im a proud momma.
