I must confess. You were right. I was wrong. Instead of complaining about the gas prices, I should have thinking and praying for the victims of the hurricane.

Today for our sermon, we read 2 Cor. 1:5-7 and verse 6 reads, “If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same suffering.” Yes, for my brothers and sisters out there, I should have been thinking of their suffering and not my inconvenience of gas. That was wrong, as some even pointed out.

Verse 7 concludes, “Our hope for you is unshaken, for we know that as you share incur suffering, you will also share in our comfort.” As Pastor Glenn told us this morning, yes, we need to suffer with the saints as well as share in their comfort. We can not just remember the good times and forget the hard ones. We need to think of their suffering and I sadly must say, I wasn’t. Forgive me.
