Morning Devotional:
The Grumpy Chef
We’ve all been there. Interrupted from relaxation, feeling a little out of sorts, and suddenly tasked with something we don’t necessarily want to do. In my case, it was being woken from a rare nap and asked to cook dinner. My initial reaction? Grumpiness. Snapping at my wife and kids wasn’t my finest moment. But a quick self-check revealed the truth: I was letting excuses rule my attitude.
Proverbs 15:18: “A hot temper stirs up strife, but a patient person calms a quarrel.”
How often do we let our moods dictate our actions? How often do we use minor inconveniences as excuses to be short-tempered? This verse reminds us that patience is key. Taking a breath and responding with kindness, even in frustrating situations, can make a world of difference.
Thankfully, after recognizing my negativity, I was able to adjust my attitude and get cooking. It’s a daily practice, but striving for patience allows us to show love and care, even when we’re not feeling our best.
The next time you feel a grumpy response bubbling up, take a moment to breathe and consider the situation. Is it worth letting your mood affect those around you? Remember, a little patience can go a long way.
