We have a friend that just drops in from time to time. Such is the case, this morning. We picked her up, in Denver, last night. She really pushes buttons that I have a hard time with. I know that through her God is teaching me patience, humility, hospitality, and a whole lot of other things.
She is unemployed and recently divorced. My heart tells me to be kind, but my head wants to say, "if you weren't so lazy, these things wouldn't happen.". See, I do have a mean streak. I know that there are things in life that are out of our control and I don't know where I would be if I were in her shoes. She says she is going back to school in January. I think what I am supposed to do is, support her. Encourage her to do well in school. She is a little bit older than me, so I felt safe in saying that "at our age, you can still learn and have a whole new career". Please pray for me as I pray for her.
Well, I must go make breakfast for this house guest.
Happy day everyone.
