“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Wednesday;
September 17, 2008
What happens when someone discovers something we already
know … are we happy for their revelation or do we lament
their development and think; “Well, it’s about time.”?
Experiences come at us at different phases of life so not
everyone will learn lessons at the same rate. If we have
had to learn to live with heartache for awhile – then
someone else discovers it and says, “Wow, now I know how you
feel.”; do we accept their thoughts or begrudge the time
they needed to share the experience?
Whether the lessons are complex as illness, tragedy and
economic struggles or something as superficial as a
non-traditional work schedule or the inevitable aches and
pains of aging, when people get to our level, let’s accept
their thoughts of good will in good faith. Even if it took
someone a long time to be able to commiserate, now we have a
fellow traveler through life.
Think about it! For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ;
this is Charlie Wharton.
