tit for tat

Tit for tat.  This follows that.  Ying and Yang.  For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

I have a dear friend that loves to shop.  It gives her a high.  She is euphoric.  You can read it on her face.  That is until the bills come.  Then comes the pain and the shame.  There is the joy of shopping and the pain of paying for it later.

When one cuts someone off in traffic, there is a momentary joy.  There is also shame.  And if we ourselves are cut off, anger shows up.  There is no momentary joy then, unless you look in the other person's car that is.

There is the joy of winning the state football championship.  Congratulations to Blue Springs South.  But, on the other side of the field, is the sorrow of losing.  The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.  Lets take a little bit of time to pray for and encourage those who lost.  We have all been there.

Let's always be mindful of how others feel.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
