This past week-end was spent with about twenty relatives that have not been together in years. Had to work with 1 Peter 5:6-7 before going which reads, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”
Rather than rely on human memory, I learned to listen more to God and look at all these precious people with fresh eyes! What a glorious week-end it was! When someone began an old story, I prayed to listen with humor and Love, rather than becoming defensive. That can make all the difference in the world.
