“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; January 4, 2008

 

          I don’t know that I completely believe that “opposites attract”; but I do know that people with different personalities will end up having to learn to live with each other.  Take for example, something as simple as listening to the radio.  How many of you are button-pushers and how many of you are station-listeners?  There are some people who will stay tuned to one station – no matter what song is being played – while there are others who will keep pushing the buttons until they find a song they like (then once that song is over and another they don’t like comes on, the process starts all over again).   There is nothing morally wrong with either personality; but, when you get those people in the same car listening to the same radio, there can be issues.

          When it comes to peace and tranquility, there are two keys.  The first is understanding that people are different and the second is being willing to tolerate the differences in an effort to save the relationship.  Let’s make a dedication in our closest relationships not to allow people to push our buttons; but, to find a harmony despite our differences.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
