Philippians 2:4 (ESV) Let each of you look not only to his
own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Sunday was a very busy day. It started with two services.
After lunch I returned for two meetings while Joe went grocery shopping. It was
then off to the hospital to visit a member, making it home just in time to
regroup for Sunday Connect. That type of
day is tiring but it is also rewarding because it involves being with others
and either serving them or working together in the name of Christ.
I did not have a Musings yesterday as I left the house early
to drive to Emory Orthopedics at N. Druid Hills Rd. for an MRI on a hurting
shoulder. Traffic was bumper to bumper as usual. I noticed with a twinge of envy that cars in
the HOV lane were speeding by. How nice
it is, I thought to have someone to share a ride and reap the benefits of
that. God’s desire is that we live in
relationship with other, loving one another, helping one another and sharing
what we have with those who have less. It’s important to remember that the
arrow goes both ways. We love and help
and share but also are loved and are helped and are recipients of others’
sharing with us.
Dear God, help us today to strengthen our relationship with
others, to make new friends and expand our circle of acquaintances. Please help
us to be patient with others and help others to be patient with us. We ask in
Jesus’ name, amen.
Paige
