[Abigail said to David], " 'And it shall come to pass, when the LORD has done for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you ruler over Israel, that this will be no grief to you, nor offense of heart ot my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause or that my lord has avenged himself.' "
I Samuel 25:30-31
It feels good to get revenge at the time, but there is a price to pay later on. Abigail's plea to save her family was an appeal to David so that he would avoid regrets later on. The main regrets I have in my old age is the way I treated other people -- whether family, friends, enemies, students, or parishioners. How we treat people will come back to haunt us later.
Today's Thought: Treating people well now can help us avoid regrets in the future.
Have a "no grief" day. Love you.
