What Would You Do???

[bdlooney]

My wife is currently in an accelerated LVN Nursing program that requires her to attend clinicals a few days a week. Her mother made her a few scrub skirts to bypass the whole pants thing.

Today, while in clinicals at a local hospital, she encountered a nurse that once lived (how do I say this?) a "traditional" Holiness Pentecostal lifestyle. (ex: Dressess, uncut hair, no makeup, no jewelry) This nurse and other nurses began to mock my wife becuase of her religious stance. They said things like, "You won't last living that way." and "Your beliefs are outdated." etc... The charge nurse was in the area and allowed nurses under his control to badger my wife concerning her religious beliefs. They continued this in harsher terms than I am able to adequately describe. My wife did not run but maintained that she chooses the life she lives and she chooses this one.

My wife is not a wimp, is fully persuaded of her stance and is perfectly capable of "enduring hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." Normally I am one to let it roll off my back. But when this is done to my wife I want to do something instead of doing nothing and feel like I am letting my wife be run over.

My question: Would you attempt to take action if this were done to your spouse? Do you think that it would be wise or a "good witness" for our faith?

Your thoughts please...
