One Pot or Two?


It was crisp and cool, a perfect day to make a big pot of chili…..or perhaps two smaller pots of chili.

My friend came for a visit and smelling the aroma asked if I had a pot of chili on the stove. I told her that I had not one but two pots of chili and explained that my husband and I like it prepared one way and my kids prefer it another. I laughed and said that I am a pushover. She shook her head and proceeded to tell me about the four separate meals she had prepared for her family of six the evening before. I decided that in comparison I wasn’t such a push over after all.

Cooking separate meals on occasion to please our families is certainly no sin. I find myself wondering however,  how often I push dealing with my sin issues aside when in comparison to others’ they don’t seem so bad.

Galatians 6:3-4

3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For each one shall bear his own load.
