Don't Let your "good" be spoken of as "evil"

This morning we had a food distribution for anyone showing up to claim it. Volunteers came from churches, civic organizations, and even from the jail. Volunteers came from our county and from neighboring counties. They all came to help unload, set up, sort, and prepare boxes of food to give to those coming to receive it.

In the hustle and bustle of volunteers, some who had never done this before and others who "know the drill", we had the occasional conflict of people trying to occupy the same location at the same time.

In the midst of the melee Satan took advantage of the frustration of good people and feelings were hurt. The one who said "you are in the way," and the one who was told and responded by leaving in a "snit" both lent themselves to Satan's bidding.

I suspect that neither intended to do anything other than serve, but both went away remembering the sadness of conflict instead of the joy of service.

It is so easy to become distracted , isn't it?
