How Do You Deal With Life’s Interruptions?
I stared at the question on my computer screen and laughed out loud. Since I sat down to prepare for my Bible study lesson, I have had numerous phone calls, text messages, and other disturbances. How do I deal with interruptions? If my growing annoyance and frustration with others are any indication, not very well, it would seem.
How about you? How do you handle rained-out picnics, canceled vacations due to family illness, or guests showing up on your one quiet night, surprising you with their impromptu visit and expectations of dinner? How do you react when the dog doesn’t quit barking, the kids won’t quit fighting, the boss won’t quit complaining, and the world around you won’t stop asking for more of you?
Don’t Despise the Small Things, Part Two
Today, we’ll pick back up on the second part of our study on Don’t Despise the Small Things. If you missed the first part of our study, you can go back and view it here. Initially, we talked about how one little act of generosity impacted thousands. Today, we’ll look at how one small act of hospitality saved lives and strengthened a prophet of the Lord, who could then continue his ministry. I hope you’ll enjoy it and be reminded that nothing you do for the Lord is too small. As the old hymn says, “Little is much when God is in it.”
No Sign of Hurt
Over the weekend, Jason and a couple of friends tackled the much-needed yard work at our house. They cut the grass, trimmed the weeds, and cut back the hedges. We have a long line of hedges that run the length of our house and are filled with nasty briers. Taming them was no easy task. When they were done, Jason came inside, and I immediately noticed the many scratches and scrapes all over his arms, legs, and stomach. In just a few hours, my poor hubby looked like he'd gone head-to-head with a porcupine in a cactus. . .and lost.
