Mid-Week Inspiration: Wednesday, October 26, 2022
We all have vampires in our lives. It could be an annoying co-worker. Or a nosey neighbor. It could be a drama-queen friend. Or a drive-you-crazy relative. We all have people who make loving difficult.
And here is the thing, they don’t do it intentionally. I don’t think that annoying aunt sets out to be annoying. The nosey neighbor doesn’t wake up and say I am going to go around the neighborhood bothering all my neighbors so they will cringe when they see me coming. The obnoxious co-worker doesn’t decide on the drive into work that she will smack her gum loudly, scream on the phone, or stir the drama pot at work to make everyone around not like her. They are not trying to make our lives miserable.
They are not thinking about it because they are too busy thinking about themselves and their own lives and problems!
If they are not thinking about it in their own lives, how much more do we not think about it in our own lives? Do you ever stop and ask yourself, “Are my actions damaging this relationship?”
“Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.” - Romans 12:3

In November, I will include notes of thanks from my readers in my newsletter. So who or what are you thankful for? And why?
