Good morning! How are we faithing? It's been an interesting few days. Sometimes I wonder about things and after awhile wonder why I am wondering. It strikes me when I see people lash out with selfish motives. Some for gain and some just because of the condition of selfishness. I see people abusing their critters and really gets me ticked but even more so is the selfishness that would cause someone to treat their children in a manner not suitable for even critters. Selfishness will cause people to act and to say things that are cruel and self serving. Who benefits from a cussing out? Who gains from abuse? Who makes things better by yelling names? It's all selfish motivation. I am one that catches myself talking to the seemedly bad driver in front of me. Then I am ashamed because I don't know why or what is happening in their life that may cause what I just saw or perceived as a bone head move. Praying for them is much more advisable and benefitial than getting mad at them. Why would I yell? Selfishness. Their action impeded mine. Sure the actual turn on red may have been ill advised but what if they are trying to get to the hospital? What if they are distracted because they just got rotten news? Consider they may be in more anguish than you because you are late. Ponder this whenever your hair raises up on your neck. Ask pertinent questions before you speak out of turn or out of selfishness...
Proverbs 12:10
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
KJV
Genesis 33:13-14
But he said to him, "My lord knows that the children are frail and that the flocks and herds which are nursing are a care to me. And if they are driven hard one day, all the flocks will die. Please let my lord pass on before his servant; and I will proceed at my leisure, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at Seir."
NAS
Remember Fred Knipper...remember Micah Rayborn...remember Layla Fulfer...Remember Tonya Fulfer...Remember Donna Fulfer...
