Matthew 7:12 (CEB) Therefore, you should treat people in the
same way that you want people to treat you; this is the Law and the Prophets.
I really don’t like walking on garbage day. I did pretty
good last week until I was almost home.
Someone’s garbage receptacle was overflowing and smelled awful. What do those people throw away? Ugh. Joe and I use our garbage disposal for food
waste and recycle paper, plastic and cans so we rarely fill up our can. I’m glad my trash isn’t offensive to
others. Sometimes we let the other type
of garbage in our life spill over onto others. It’s often difficult to put on a happy face
and be pleasant when we are stressed out or irritated because of some person or
some situation. Yet we would do well to
remember this scripture – it’s the Golden Rule most of us learned at an early
age. Let’s all contain our garbage and
dispose of it in a proper way.
Holy God, we need you constantly in our life to help us stay
at peace when things bother us. Help us
to treat others as we wish to be treated. We pray that you remove our anxieties
and anger; teach us to let God and to turn to you when we are troubles. We ask in Jesus’ name, amen.
Blessings,
Paige
