State.
Eating lunch at Panera's the lady was
Studying the Bible with another
Believer when a woman walked up to
Their table.
"Which of you is the leader here?" she asked.
"She is," the mentee responded, pointing
To her friend.
And without warning, the stranger
Dumped her scalding cup of tea down
The lady's back.
In a flash she was gone, leaving the
Two women in shock and the victim
With second degree burns.
The cruel incident rattled the Christian
Lady, and for a time she was leery of
Just being out in public.
But her angst didn't last for long and she
Moved on.
Kim shared her disturbing story with
Me while we ate at the Cracker Barrel.
We had already asked our server if
She had a prayer request. (She did.)
And we had openly prayed at our table.
The ugly attack hadn't silenced my friend.
She addressed the woman's hate by boldly
Living out her faith, even at a restaurant
Where hot tea was on the menu.
