In our weekly bible study, we are looking at the book of Ephesians. This past Tuesday, we noted that the Apostle Paul opens with a greeting and salutation in this epistle and his other letters. How encouraging it is that even though he is more times than not, writing from jail, a place of confinement; he manages to maintain a level of hospitality. Despite his circumstances, Paul’s letters are seasoned with grace. The question is…why don’t we have that same type of joy and excitement when we greet our brothers and sisters?

I think most of us do have and spirit of hospitality, joy and excitment when we greet our brothrs and sisters. The question is, is it a real and genuine joy, or just something we do “in church”? How do react to our brothers and sisters when we see them on the street, or in the grocery store?
Wow…this is barking right up my alley this week and a lot of other weeks! I have the hardest time always showing joy…I wouldnt say that it is because I dont love others in the same mannner that they love me. I have been doing a lot of soul searching lately and am finding that my life challenges are being reflected in my attitude in many ways. Luckily God is working with me and I have been challenged to actually put some of my anger and dissappointments on paper and actually be able to go over it with another sister in Christ whom God has lead me too! This was actually a big step for me even responding to this blog…for me openly admitting there is a problem is a blessings! Again thank you P. Miller for taking the time to put out the blogs…sometime I am too busy to read but I always catch up…Love Ya
