Hunny! 40 Days in the 100 Aker Wood – Day 13

Too often the ones who should be ‘making plain the way of the LORD’ are cluttering it with Points of Order, procedural motions, and a general antagonism towards their siblings.

Like Christopher Robin and Pooh, we should learn to be slow to complain – “You didn’t exactly miss,” – and quick to apologise – “I’m so sorry,”. Having done this and ensured harmony in the Body of Christ, we can take aim again and have another go at the real problem instead of beating up each other.
