Scripture: Proverbs 15:17
Better is a dinner of vegetables where love is than a fatted ox and hatred with it.
Thought for the Day: There are times when the words of Mother Teresa sum things up pretty well. She said, “In the West we have a tendency to be profit-oriented, where everything is measured according to the results and we get caught up in being more and more active to generate results. In the East — especially in India — I find that people are more content to just be, to just sit around under a banyan tree for half a day chatting to each other. We Westerners would probably call that wasting time. But there is value to it. Being with someone, listening without a clock and without anticipation of results, teaches us about love. The success of love is in the loving — it is not in the result of loving.” Yep, that sums it up pretty well.
Prayer: Help me make room for what is important, Lord, and help me realize that in almost every case, the important stuff is people. Amen.
