Good morning; I am back home from a most blessed vacation. My heart, spirit, mind and body needed it, however I literally was in an airport or an airplane all day yesterday and I am mush! It’s a food-for-thought day.
I was reading in one of my devotions this morning, and it triggered me to thinking about gossip and how much we as people like to gossip. Even if it isn’t hurtful or backstabbing as is the first thought related to gossip, we like to discuss other people and whatever they are up to, good bad or otherwise and we usually have an opinion one way or another!!! Henceforth the discussion.
Have you ever thought of gossiping about Jesus? He has great stories to tell. He did and does mighty and powerful things in our lives everyday. He did and does the quietest, most peaceful things in our lives every day.
He is so worthy of our gossip! I have spoken on many occasions of one of my mentors, Paula; we used to sit and gossip about Jesus all day. We would talk about all the things we’re going to do in heaven one day. She plans on snow skiing as her earthly knees no longer allow her this passion. We shared his love in our everyday moments and life. We shared his strength, his wisdom, and his advice.
I have to reign in my gossip tendencies, don’t misunderstand. I don’t gossip maliciously, but I have been privy to hit a topic or two with my opinion or two. The next time I feel the need to discuss someone’s actions, I’ll discuss Jesus instead. Care to join me?
Thank you for joining me today. I appreciate all of you and your support. Off for another cup of coffee, I have a suitcase to unpack! Be blessed and try and be a blessing; the world needs us! 🥰
