Philippians 2:2
Yet again Paul points out the
importance of unity with the phrases “like-minded”, “same love”, “being one in
spirit and “of one mind”. In fact, he
says his joy would be completed by their unity.
APPLICATION
Unity is essential in the church if it is to survive. We sometimes shoot our wounded from our high
horses.
If
we can just learn to respond with
encouragement
comfort,
tenderness
and
compassion
what
a difference it would make!
Sometimes, unity cannot be achieved for a variety of
reasons. There are times when ties must
be cut such as in toxic relationships or to protect the vulnerable. There are many Scriptures to support this.
Let’s be honest, we all probably have someone in our lives
we have had to cut ties with. But, let’s
search our hearts, forgive them and, yes, even pray for them with tenderness
and compassion.
PRAYER
LORD, help me to live this
challenge out. There are those I miss in
my life and I’m sure my readers have the same situations in their lives. Comfort all involved and let us all know and
show tenderness and compassion.
Let our churches have unity that
Your goals may be achieved. Amen.
Day 8, Gift 8: Felt Lunch
Hello there! Man, have I’ve been sick! But, you know what? There’s nothing like slow stitching to chase bronchitis
and sinus infections away!
After almost a year, the Felt Lunch is
completed! Everything is hand stitched except for the "ridges" on the chips. Just a reminder, I found the
pattern here.
Now for the pictures!
A sandwich starts with bread,
and add your meats.
Mayo or mustard?
I like both!
American or Swiss cheese?
How about some lettuce?
Do you like tomatoes on your sandwich?
How about some of Ama's
special chips?
Tada! Lunch is served!
