My close GF’s cat had to be put down and I’ve been with her all day comforting her. She’s really broken up.

What Really Matters
June 9, 2016
In humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others.
Philippians 2:34
Two men sat down to review their business trip and its results. One said he thought the trip had been worthwhile because some meaningful new relationships had begun through their business contacts. The other said, Relationships are fine, but selling is what matters most. Obviously they had very different agendas.
It is all too easywhether in business, family, or churchto view others from the perspective of how they can benefit us. We value them for what we can get from them, rather than focusing on how we can serve them in Jesuss name. In his letter to the Philippians, Paul wrote, Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others (Phil. 2:34).
People are not to be used for our own benefit. Because they are loved by God and we are loved by Him, we love one another. His love is the greatest love of all.
Teach me, Lord, to see people as You dobearing Your image, being worthy of Your love, and needing Your care. May Your great love find in my heart a vessel through which that love can be displayed.
Joy comes from putting anothers needs ahead of our own.
Todays passage has remarkable insights into the incarnation. The Son of God willingly took on human form and came to earth to redeem fallen sinners. But that was just the beginning of Christs self-humbling. He took upon Himself the form of a servant and then died on a cross of shame. But once the price of sin had been paid through His death, Christ was gloriously raised from the dead and given a name that is above every name. At the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord (v. 10).

Woo-Hoo, Howdy radu!
It barely got to 80 today!
I went out shopping early anyway and went to 3 different stores for groceries and other provisions. All stocked up now.
Son gave me a call and asked to come over for a bit on his day off, so we hung out for awhile.
How wuz your day?
