An Embarassing Fall!

Last Friday a visitor to New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art fell. Typically, when someone fall's, the incident does not find its way to the media. But this fall was different. When the woman fell, she tore a 6 inch gash in a painting by some artist by the name of Pablo Picasso. Oops! Talk about an embarassing fall!

All of us do embarassing things from time to time. We cause accidents that we did not mean to cause. These in turn can be quite costly ... to us or others (as in this case of this torn painting, repairs to the Picasso will be quite expensive). Now you might be wondering where I am going with this ... yes? The next time someone does something unintentional that impacts you in a negative way ... respond to them with GRACE! Learn to FORBEAR! God tells us to do as much through the Apostle Paul when Paul wrote, "Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another" (Colossians 3:13). This is the way of grace! And it is THE way to go!

Thanks for stopping by . . .
