Stepping Back Galatians 5:16
I say, then: live by the spirit and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh.
Moments of conversion seem to come when we least expect them. I was recently in the middle of a spirited conversation with my husband when I suddenly realized that my perception of the situation might not be correct. In fact, I became aware of my tendency to jump to the “only logical conclusion” without considering other explanations.
Self-righteousness can be a tell tale sign that we are caught up in what Paul calls “the desire of the flesh.” Nothing feeds our pride and inflames our rage like being convinced that we are on the right side of a cause. How many families and parishes have suffered permanent damage because no one was willing to step back and consider that their adversary’s point of view might have some validity?
Spirit of love, continue to remind me that patience, kindness and generosity
are the authentic signs of your presence.
A Stunning Senior Moment
A self-important college freshman walking along the beach took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen resting on the steps why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.
“You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one,” the student said loud enough for others to hear. “The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon. We have nuclear energy, ships and cell phones, computers with light speed….and much more.”
After a brief silence, the senior citizen responded as follows: “You’re right son; we didn’t have those things when we were young…..so we invented them. Now….what are you going to do for the next generation?
