Good Perspective

Woke up earlier than I wanted to this morning, with a pretty bad attitude and little bit of feeling sorry for myself. Of course, most of this was my fault for going to bed too late and carrying alot of the baggage from yesterday into today...

Then I remembered a quote that my brother in law, Doug, sent us yesterday, and it threw everything into a much better perspective for me. So here it is:

“As we have a high old time this Christmas, may we who know Christ hear the cry of the damned as they hurtle headlong into the Christ-less night without ever a chance. May we be moved with compassion as our Lord was. May we shed tears of repentance for these we have failed to bring out of darkness. Beyond the smiling scenes of Bethlehem may we see the crushing agony of Golgotha. May God give us a new vision of His will concerning the lost and our responsibility.” – Nate Saint, missionary killed by Auca Indians, six days before Christmas
