"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." Ephesians 4:2
For me, anything worth doing is worth doing right, so critical thinking about all the possible threats, weaknesses and outcomes is just part of the process. Others might see it as criticism. Some might even consider the drive for excellence simply as arrogance. This is why we must make every effort to bear each other in love.
"Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:31-32
I heard an interesting reference today when a coworker described the difficult people she had to deal with as EGRs. Instantly I started trying to decipher its meaning and even came up with a few good ones. Starting with 'E', I went down the line…egregious, enormous, extreme…you get the picture. Until finally I asked, "What’s an EGR?"
Our Halloween Devotion comes to us from Council Member, Lahoma:
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." Ephesians 5:11
It’s that time of year that I love… the Fall leaves, high school Friday night football games, cool crisp mornings, apple cider, the smell of pumpkin pie in my oven…. And yes, the challenge of selecting/making the perfect costume, orange and black decorations and candy candy candy!
