Very Depressing Day Today

[rose4christ]

Today my daughter and I had a Pampered Chef Cooking Show at our Church,
we had invited all our sisters from our Bible study class and they all had said that they were all coming. Well today was the show and yes everyone showed up to Church Services but not one of them showed up for the Show. All these woman say that there all my friends and they all said that they were coming then at the last min. they all had something else to do. I was so sad about it because I had prepared all kinds of snacks and stuff. This was very upsetting
because they all lied to me about wanting to be there to saport me. :thinking
I just wonder why they would do this. :faint I feel like it was because they only say good things to my face and behind my back they talk about me. And I don't even know why. I am a good person and I get along with everyone. :thinking I feel so bad about today. I have been :pray and asking God to release me from these feelings but I just can't shack it off.

That's why I don't have those parties anymore.....any kind of home parties. No one seems to have the time, energy or money anymore to come. At first I took it personally too....but once I understood ('cuz I have backed out of quite a few myself).....but now I don't.
:hug

It's just hard times right now.....people just have way too much going on.

I'm sorry they did that too you, they should have just told you they weren't interested. To be honest though, I don't know anyone who actually enjoys those parties since most people feel obligated to buy things they dont want. Don't take it personally. :hug

Maybe you should have had this in your home instead of the church on a Sunday. That may be the reason. :idunno

Did you tell them there would be food there? I would have came and bought something small I could afford.

That stinks. They should have just said they could not make it. I think you need to get those catalogs out and tell them they disappointed you and then put a catalog in their face LOL. They will buy something for sure. :lol2

They probably didn't want to hurt your feeling but there are probably many reasons, Sunday are family times, they don't want to spend the money, they might have felt pressured into coming, or maybe something just came up. When you go into sales you have to get really thick skin, and be prepared for more no's than yes's.

I don't go to "buying" parties anymore, I just don't need anything, and I don't have any free money, plus shipping is so expensive and I can go to the local store and buy it there for half the price anyway. Plus I personally don't like to sale items in a church, just makes me feel weird.

I am sorry this happened to you!

I'm sorry that this happened. You went through a lot to prepare a nice gathering. There could have been various reasons for them to not attend but it would have been considerate if they had let you know in advance. Sundays are ususally very busy for families. Try not to take it personally. Extend grace and be willing to forgive. Then you will feel better about it.

Yes I told all of them that there was going to be food. I spoke with each and everyone of my so called sisters and they all said oh yes I love pampered chef. Pampered Chef stuff is great. Then they turned me down on the day of my show. :idunno I do not know why they did this to me..

Yes I really do understand that Sundays are for family, but everyone that I ask to come always stays over at Church for at least 2 to 3 hours after second service and that is what hurts so much. They were all out in the Atrium talking and goofing off. It was like a slap in my face. But I will forgive and forget.
