Today’s Thought “Barbeque Ribs and Things…” G. Ward

Romans 15:2

Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his edification.

Many families are plagued in grief as recalling a loved one who so graciously died while in the armed forces and whereby this holiday (upcoming) lends great reflection thereunto (i.e., unfortunately short-lived, along with festive and contemplative), will ultimately become a three-day party of sorts (concentrative of personal pleasure). If reflection as such is so short-lived, may each of us who believe address our neighbor righteously; introducing any onto the Blessed Hope (our Lord Jesus).

Some may ask, who then is our neighbor? According to Christ’s teaching (irrespective of race or religion), it’s any with whom we exist (either knowingly, or through our encounters – *Ro.10:13), and they should be afforded a witness of HIS grace intended for them (cf. Ro. 10:14). May we all rise to that occasion.
