patience

Posted by Pastor John Lewis on

Well it’s that time of year. School buses are on the road, children are back in school and churches are planning Sunday School kick off programs. Have you ever lost patience with those around you? Maybe this morning you are having a difficult time with someone? Perhaps there is someone in your family who is testing your nerves? Someone sent this to me and I thought I would pass it on to you.

Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own children. After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve, and the first thing he said was "DON'T!" "Don't what?" Adam replied. "Don't eat the forbidden fruit," God said. "Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit" Hey, Eve, we have forbidden fruit!" "Do NOT eat the fruit!" said God. "Why?" "Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, wondering why he hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants. A few minutes later God saw His children having an apple break and He was ticked! "Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked. "Uh huh," Adam replied. "Then why did you?" said the Father. "I don't know," said Eve. "She started it!" Adam said. "Did not!" "Did too!" "DID NOT!" “DID TOO!” Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed.

 

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind.

Prayer: Lord, help me to be patient with all of my family members today. Amen.

 

Sunday School Kick Off is this Sunday August 30TH at 11:00am
