The Kitchen Table
“The Prodigal”
Day 35
But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, Luke 15:28
When we can’t be happy, we can’t find happy. And when we can’t be happy for others, it’s difficult to find happiness for ourselves. It’s a sign of unhappiness when we can’t be happy for others. When we let our negative emotions determine our environment, we’re sunk. We will miss the moment and the opportunity to live, love, and laugh. There were memories to make and moments to share but that doesn’t happen when we let our emotions like anger, jealousy, and hate rule our day. Anger doesn’t create memories; it corrupts them and leaves us with regret. And we let this happen by focusing on someone else’s decisions in life. There’s a Father in heaven who loves you and His love is rich, choose Him, not hate. Our Father is into good memories and great moments.
