After being cooped up in a bus for six days, the "grumpies" are hitting some of the travelers...
Either food is slow, the selection limited, not enough or too much, cooked poorly, bones and joints are creeking, mornings are earlier, nights are later, the scenery monotonous, family waiting, or whatever....sounds like when I was traveling with four children only deeper voices and grayer hair (no arguing or teasing, or touching, though).....
I opened my Bible reading for today and found...
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
Philippians 2:1-2
so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.
Colossians 1:10-12
It was a reminder not to fall into step with the "grumpies" but look for the good in each day, each scene...to think on...
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:8-9
To be an encourager, to be thankful even in "rough" times...we are so blessed....
Thank YOU.....
