To
sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and
humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving
a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might
inherit a blessing.
1
Peter 3:8-9
We
all know crabby people who are never happy about anything. And, they make sure we all know that they are
not happy and that they do not want us to be happy. They are the kind of people we do not want to
associate with and when we are forced to associate with them, we make our visit
short.
So,
what are we supposed to say? We are to
say something kind and generous to them.
Even if they rebuke our words they have heard them, and perhaps they may
later sink in to their souls and bring them a moment of contentment. I know this is difficult and stressful for
us, but we are to do what we can to uplift them.
So,
go spend ten minutes with a crabby friend or relative. Say something kind. Bless them.
Then run away and wait for a blessing.
