“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Thursday; July 17, 2008

          Boy it sure was hot around here last week.  We had one day where the temperatures reached 98 degrees and the humidity hit 25%! 

          Now, there may be some of you who can commiserate with me; but, honestly, that type of fussing doesn’t play too well with my southern family.  You see, they have been battling muggy 90 degree weather for several months now.  Frankly, they really don’t want to hear me fuss about our one hot day!

          When we complain about life, do we consider our audience?  Do we gripe about our cars getting poor gas mileage to someone who has to ride a bike to work?  Do we fuss about the gristle in our steaks to those who can barely afford hamburger?  Do we complain about our allergy flare-ups to someone with emphysema? 

          The best lesson most of us can learn is to be contented with what we have; but, a secondary lesson is that when we do yield to the temptation to fuss; let’s avoid seeking sympathy for our trials from those who are really troubled!

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