Andy reminded me tonight of a tape we listened to probably over 30 years ago by Jack Taylor called, "The Principle of Receiving." The gist of his message is that God places people in our lives. They're different. They have different gifts than we do. Their personalities are different. They just come to the table...different.
But God has great purpose in that. If we'll learn to receive that person just like they are and receive from them, we'll be the winners. This can apply to a spouse, children, friends, co-workers, church staff, etc., etc. If they weren't different...they'd be...us. And how boring would that be?
If we could grasp this concept, we'd be rich people.
I need to go find that tape and listen to it again. Well...and find a cassette player so I can!
