So Monday night was tough. We were all watching the Bengals game, excited for the conclusion of another regular season where we had the chance to look forward to the playoffs... and suddenly we were all gripped by the all-too-real drama unfolding on the field, where it went from just a game to real life in the blink of an eye. Scores of games didn't matter, and foes became allies.
Life changes fast, and in those moments, we're reminded of what truly matters. In the Corinthian church, Paul was writing to a church caught up in divisions -- they were quarreling over small things, and Paul is reminding them of the bigger things. We all need reminding of this from time to time -- of what truly matters, and when we recognize this, the smaller divisions fall away.
So if you're in the midst of a quarrel, remember the bigger picture. Hold onto your loved ones, for life is so very precious. May we treasure the communities we are blessed with, and give thanks for the time we have together.
