I can see her clearly, as if it were yesterday, even though it was over 50 years ago. I will never forget that day, as it was one of those muggy fall afternoons, and the bus was packed. Of course, she started crying and telling them to stop, but this just made things worse. Our dignity may be assaulted, vandalized, and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered. Let go of the animosity and allow God to help you find closure and rise above the trials as you press forward in the beauty of his love and the holiness of his forgiveness.
