Communication

My family consisting of my children and grandchildren communicate by a private group text on the cell phone.  Today I posted a text about my sister coming to see me today and I noticed that my younger daughter who normally immediately responds to any text did not respond.  I called her about something else and I mentioned that my sister had bought a new car.  She was surprised.  I said I had posted it in the family text.  She looked on her phone and she said she had not received that text.  We discovered that unbeknownst to all the family members that there were 2 family texts circulating and one of them had not included her.  She said that was probably because she had changed phones so she has not been been receiving texts for a full year from that one family text
I had been wondering throughout the year why she had not responded to some of the texts and I am sure that other family members had wondered the same thing.  It is easy for people to get hurt feelings from something as simple as this
It is so easy to “assume” that someone has something against us but in reality that is not the case.  Communication can break down over these assumptions.
Assumptions are oftentimes erroneous.  I have built up entire stories around people which have turned out to be false.  It is important to go to the source and see if people have received word from us.
During this time period when we are still somewhat self isolating and communication is through texts, emails, Facebook Twitter, etc. it is so easy to misinterpret intent.
I always take a moment to connect to Spirit before going to a hurt feeling and when I do this then I find out what is happening.  There is a space within you that provides the answers and so it is
