Bristol & The Drifters

This weekend my boyfriend and I went to a friend's Baby Shower in Bristol, Virginia. We had a great weekend. We had a great, relaxed time.

One of the most memorable moments was attending the end of the first day of the 2007 Virginia Highlands Festival in Abington, VA. There I had my first Deep Fried Oreos... (Yes someone thought to do this)... and saw the Drifters in concert.

Become Like Little Children

Matthew 18: 3 "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."(NIV)

I vented through an e-discussion earlier this week with friends about how often it seems that now that I am an adult, I often face those in the "adult world" that

• are back stabbers
• are gossipers
• don't like to talk to you about a situation but talk ABOUT you to others
• don't work together when you are trying to accomplish the same goal
• don't behave nicely or follow the "Golden Rule"
• simply put....are what we often refer to as "childish"....

and how all these things and behaviors frustrated me. I must admit I found her response enlightening and very true.

Part 1 of her response: The Relation to My Situation

"You have people that you work with on a daily basis, people who you know could accomplish things well as a team, however, they get so worked up in how things will affect them, or start focusing on causing you problems just so they look better. It is sooooo irritating!! "

Part 2 : The Reality of it All

"It is strange how as a kid and teenager and even college student, you are always taught how to behave and how to respect others. Told to play nice and do things as a team. To help others, and just grow up. But, when you are a grown up, everyone else- including other adults, are still acting like kids trying to step on other peoples sandcastles or take other peoples toys!!"

In her response I think that Matthew 18:3 took on another meaning for me now... something that people should really think about... possibly a new spin on the meaning of that verse.

Thanks for reading... give your feedback if you would like. Many Blessings to all!
