This past weekend had some moments where working with people was a challenge. One person wants some changes at the church. Their point is well taken and probably a bit selfish but still worth considering. However this person does not seem to realize that I have to work through the structure. I cannot just wave my magic wand and find solutions. In this case a committee is working on trying to find a great solution for the entire church not just one individual. But the individual seems to be getting more worked up each day about the issue. At least from my viewpoint they are on a mission and will not stop until someone meets their ‘demands.’
I realize the this person is having some trying times. Life is not easy for them and I am sure this makes their concern all the more important to them. I realized again this past weekend that people are people. But more than that I saw again that each person is God’s son or daughter. I hope I can stay focused on loving all and not get caught up in the issues that all too easily divide. So, pray for me this week there is no way I can avoid others and really no way I want to avoid them either.
