This is come follow me for us hybrid a little bit of old a little bit of new because yeah, I said it and it was good

And as always, I'm your host Melanie Stroud

This is season 5 episode 32

Overcome evil with good and I start this episode with a

Story that a woman wrote to me four years ago, which is still really good and relevant and in this one

Throughout I leave little thoughts from 2023 and also I'm so sorry this didn't get out until a week late

I was sick and had a bunch of stuff going on and I feel terrible because it was such a good

Podcast that I hope you guys don't skip it because it's a little late

And I will get the one for this week out by Wednesday

But I'm gonna give this one two days to sit and marinate out there so that you don't miss it

Without further ado the lesson from four years ago

Dele dee

There was this mom who made t-shirts

And her son was going back to school and she told him that she would make him a shirt

Of anything he wanted like baseball or football or any kind of theme and he thought about it for a second

And he said

Will you please make me a shirt that says I will be your friend for all the kids who need a friend to know that I'm here for them

And it has this picture of this darling little boy with a shirt on that says I will be your friend

Oh my gosh talk about tears rolling everywhere

What a sweet kid what if that was true what if we were sure to said I'll be your friend

I'll sit with you are you lonely hang with me

I just want to send that kid like a thousand
