These are quotes from the message given on Sunday by my Pastor, Tim Barton.
"When you forget that you should be grateful,
what tends to happen is that we become entitled. And
when we don’t get or have what we think that we should
get or have we become bitter. We become resentful...
If gratitude is a way of living that gives thanks for all that we have, then
bitterness is a way of living and thinking that exemplifies
our dissatisfaction with what we don’t have...
And listen, life is hard and it’s normal to be upset by losses
that we suffer and by injustices that we face in life. Grief
and disappointment are just a part of the human
experience. Bitterness however is what happens when that
grief and disappointment take root in our hearts, souls,
and minds and become the driving force behind how we
think and act."
That is some good stuff from Pastor Tim. Friends, fight bitterness. Search for something to be grateful for. It surely is out there. Release bitterness, hold fast to being grateful.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
