Galatians 6:1-5

Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load.


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

Last Wednesday, my parents returned home after spending five weeks with us. Suddenly the house seems so empty, in spite of our normal, somewhat hectic routine.

It was wonderful to spend good old quality time with them; long cups of coffee in the morning and strung-out meals in the evening, with lots of lovely moments in-between.

What a blessing for our children to have their grandparents to know and love, something I really did not experience in my childhood. God is good!

God Bless You!

--ANSWER TO TRIVIA QUESTION:

Q. Initially, how did Job's friends show their sorrow?

A. And when they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven.

So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.

Job 2:12-13

It is hard to imagine the magnitude of Job's sorrow; these friends clearly cared deeply for him.
