February 22 - gossip II

Gossip -- Part II

Recently, a close friend was asked how our family was doing. She reply “Fine, why do you ask?” The other person said she had heard some things about our family. My friend, decided to call me to find out if there was any merit to the rumor. I advised her that nothing like the rumor she heard was taking place in our family. She was so relieved. I took the time to call the person that she heard it from to let them know that there was no need to worry about our family we were all fine. I am so grateful that my friend did the right thing. True friends and good people, stop the gossip and take action to help people in need.

We have all had situation like this that we hear something about a friend. I know that in my past I have felt uncomfortable asking about the rumor, so I have asked a friend of a friend about the person or situation. I did this because I was concerned and uncomfortable going to the source.
I am sure that you have felt this way at least once in your life. Why are we so uncomfortable going to the source?
