Kat727: The kid who you let go 30 years ago might have had a life change after you let him go and needed a lesson. We never know what is behind the scene. He knew the rules and didn't try to wear something easy, like socks. If it was a uniform and he didn't have money, etc. even then there's ways he could have worked it out. You didn't "let him go" out of being nasty, revenge, etc. Let, Let God. Enabling people doesn't help them. Free clothes, including socks, is available in all places and easy to get through churches, Good Will, Salvation Army, etc. Just something to think about. Only 8% of what we worry about actually comes true. That means 92% of what we are concerned about or worry about never happens.
