Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is “crapehanger.” When I was growing up I was a huge fan of
Whinnie the Pooh. In fact, I have to say
that I still am. There was one character
in that cartoon series that was always really funny to me. His name was Eeyore. It didn't matter what was happening, he
always had something negative to say about the situation. Well, imagine the kind of people that all of
the prophets and apostles had to deal with in both the Old Testament and New
Testament. The apostle Paul always put
his attention to the works of God. In
fact, in this important chapter to the church and ethicists he writes the
following…
“…speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual
songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord…” ~Eph 5:19
My question is: what do people see when they interact with
you? My prayer is that you put on the
things of God, and show others a reason why they should live a life of
following Jesus. Things are not always
going to be the best… that would be kind of crazy. But as Christians, we are called to be
optimistic and turn our gaze towards Jesus, and not be crapehangers; nobody
likes a Debbie Downer. So, go out today
and find something specific to do that will encourage others in God's love.
Praying for you,
MO
