Hope you all had a good
weekend. We bought Avery a backpack carrier so she can ride on my shoulders
while we take walks. She loves it. She is doing well, just still dealing with
ear infections and the like, so keep praying. Thank you for all those prayers.

Masters, give your bond servants what is just and fair, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
Colossians 4:1
Paul reminds us of an important truth when it comes to roles and authorities. You may have control and power over some people, any group even that of a father over the household. No matter what manner of leadership you have there is always going to be someone over you.
Our Lord taught the twelve many times about the order of command and rule. Those who want to be leaders must be servants, and the greatest will be the least. He turned the tables around on our social agendas and outlook. Now we have to start doing for others with love and grace, as we would expect God wants us to. Our Lord came to serve in order to show us what true servants look like.
All of us have masters and students. We have those who are bosses, and those who look up to us for wisdom and knowledge. Remember no matter what we have, there is always the Lord in Heaven who is Master of all. He is the great and awesome Lord who though he has command over all things, came down to be one of us and to serve even to the point of death for our sins.
