Real Feel

I’m not a meteorologist, but I consider today’s weather to be called: GLORIOUS!
However, if you suffer from allergies you may consider today to be:  DREADFUL!

Weather is just a simple example of the vast difference in opinions based on the same given elements these days.  We aren’t even talking about politics, money, health care, race or many other hot topics!

The question today is:  How do you respond to those around you who think their Real Feel is better/more important/more correct than yours?  (Notice I didn’t say, ‘How do you react?”  A reaction is much more quickly given, without thought or care.  A response is a carefully and thoughtfully given reply based on intent and goal.)  So….how do you respond?  Do you have an answer prepared?  Have you prayerfully considered how your words and actions affect those nearest to you?

I don’t typically read The Message version of the Bible, but I Corinthians 9:22 gives much food for thought for what our daily goal should be: “I kept my bearings in Christ—but I entered their world and tried to experience things from their point of view. I’ve become just about every sort of servant there is in my attempts to lead those I meet into a God-saved life.”  I Corinthians 9:22
