Pastor Sally’s Devotional 6/12

| June 12, 2020

Dear Friends, 

I came across a funny story last week I thought I’d share with you.  Apparently a company held an annual inter-office softball game every year between the marketing team and support staff.  One year, the support staff whipped the marketing department soundly. Not to be undone, the marketing then posted the following memo on the bulletin board after the game:

“The marketing department is pleased to announce that we came in second place in the recent softball season, after losing but one game all year. The support department, however, had a rather dismal season, winning only one game.”

I guess it’s all in how you look at it!  Is the glass half empty or is it half full?  Paul writes in the letter to the Philippians:

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.  Phil 4:8

I’m going to take it as my challenge today to look for the gold in this day.  I hope you do too.

Warmly,

Pr. Sally
