Today I have been and am grumpy. No reason, not a bit liking it. This morning I caved to it, and was miserable until I confessed to God, that my sin wasn't the grumpiness, but the reaction to it. Other than one fabric panel beaten senseless later on, that became no longer a problem. But once I got home and was still grumpy, I wasn't going to post at all. Then I read this in perusing the Congressional Bible study for the week:
In his second epistle to Timothy, Paul shares many of the lamentations he experienced in his life as he pursued the course of his calling to make disciples. As we will see from our overview of this epistle, real disciple-making is never accomplished apart from the trials of persecution: and one aspect of persecution is betrayal. Another way of looking at this, however, is this: one does not know if he or she is a loyal follower of Christ (a legitimate, mature follower of Christ) until he responds faithfully to these kinds of trials and tribulations.

Chris:
ReplyDelete---Yes, I DID enjoy the humor, which shoes that any grumpiness is merely transient (like most all of my "neighbors"...heh).
---Interesting choice of 2 Tim and the mention of "lamentations", too.
How we react to life's ups and won is indeed worthy of a bit of sorrow now and then.
(and that's why HE is waiting to receive it from you...and the rest of us who believe).
Very good post.
Stay safe (in HIS care) up there, brother.
Well, if transient means "gone for now", I guess...
DeleteGrumpy was my favorite dwarf.
ReplyDeleteMuch more entertaining than Cheesy.
And DEFINITELY better to stand next to than Farty.
