Burdens

How many times do we talk with a friend, husband, or relative and find that we are comparing our bad days. The next thing we know, we are trying to one up the other with a bigger complaint,"if you think that is bad..." In Galatians 6:2 we are told to "Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ." While bearing those burdens, we can't look at them and say they are less important than what we've gone through. Everyone has their own trials and tribulations and as a Christian we must consider their burdens as "a big deal." Philippians 2:4-5 "Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus." So next time you feel the need to compare complaints, take a moment and show some compassion!
