Her Daughter Was Screamed At By The Bus Driver. Mom’s Response Is Priceless

When your daughter gets off the bus, embarrassed and in tears… As a mother, it is considered “normal” for me to want to protect her and come to her defense. Although, I am a woman who is led by the Holy Spirit, and peace, love, and grace are what invades my heart.

Lexi (who is 14 years old) explained to me how the bus driver stopped the bus in the middle of her route and yelled at her for ten minutes in front of all the kids because she was sitting on her knees and braiding her friend’s hair. (Apparently sitting on her knees is what infuriated the bus driver.)

The angry woman kept tearing Lexi down with words, and her delivery was completely uncalled for.

After Lexi calmed down and we talked it through, I asked my daughter a question:

“Lexi, want to do something radical?”

“Sure!” Lexi replied.

“How about you respond to your bus driver in LOVE because she clearly is lacking it! All she knows is anger and frustration. How about tomorrow morning you present her with freshly baked cookies and a hug!

You and I both know that she doesn’t “deserve” it. If anything, she owes you an apology. But after all, Isn’t that what GRACE is all about?”

My precious daughter quickly replied, “Can we bake the cookies now?”

The next morning when Lexi handed her bus driver those cookies, the woman sat there in disbelief because she knew in her heart of heart’s that she overreacted in pure anger and foolishness. Yet, Lexi humbly came to her, in love.

Trust me when I say, those “cookies” spoke a million words in Lexi’s defense!

The bus driver asked Lexi, “Can I have a hug too?”… and just like that, PEACE entered in!”
