No truer words are ever spoken.
When a Steele Magnolia comes across someone down on their luck, whether in person or by word of mouth, whether man, woman, or child; you can bet her most heartfelt response will go something like this, “Oh, bless his heart.”
No matter the circumstances, all the love and compassion inside her heart is expressed in those 4 words.
Truly, those words represent a tiny prayer sent to Heaven on behalf of the poor soul she’s blessing. A literal translation might go something like this, “Father God, please take care of this poor boy. His dog got run over last night. His truck broke down this morning, and his boss fired him because he was late. Oh, Lord, help him…Bless his heart.”
