Trying to Cook Supper

Body
I remember the time my wife went to spend a few days with our daughter. While she was gone, I tried to do my work, keep the house, and cook. One afternoon an old friend called and said he was coming over for dinner. I tried to fix some special foods for him. Accidentally, I spilled a full jar of hot sauce on the kitchen floor, then a pan of milk boiled over on the stove. Boy, what a mess. I realized that my wife’s job was not an easy one and even more difficult when our children were at home. I think we do not appreciate others for what they do. Try to think about the good things, not the negative. That experience helped me to realize that it was not easy for Jesus to die on the cross for us, (Hebrews 12:2). He suffered so much, (1 Peter 2:21-24). He is keeping or providing for us; interceding on our behalf in heaven, (Romans 8:34&35). The Bible also says it will be difficult (1 Peter 4:18) for the righteous (those who have accepted Christ and are born again, (1 Peter 1:3) to be saved, (allowed into Heaven or Paradise). I gave my wife a big hug and thanked her for taking such good care of me when she returned. We ought to get on our knees every day and thank Jesus for giving us salvation. See you in Church on Sunday.
