Bitter Realizations, Sweet Resolutions
by Rev. Derek P. Elphick
Type of Event: Worship Service: Informal Family
Date Recorded: 21 Jul, 2024
Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral Undercroft
Topics:
Our lives can build up quite quickly with “shoulds” – “I should be more patient with ______.” “I should apologize for ______.” “I should reach out to _____.” These “shoulds” stack up whenever we give our old self, our ego, free reign. We have our reasons – we’ve had a long day, we tried before, we’re super busy, etc. – but what we often don’t realize is that the truth we know we should act on will remain bitter and unpleasant until we follow the Lord’s advice and, like Moses, throw “wood” into the situation.
