ATTITUDE

Philippians 2:5
Your attitude should be the
same that Christ Jesus had.



Firmin Abautiz was an elderly man known for being calm and never losing his temper. His temperament was so steady that some intentionally tried provoking Abautiz. In one instance, his housekeeper purposefully neglected to make the beds. The next morning, Abautiz reminded her to make the beds, but the housekeeper claimed to have forgotten it and nothing more was said between the two. For two more days, she continued to avoid the beds, and for two days she was reminded daily, and for two days she provided an excuse. On the third day, Abautiz said to her, “You have not yet made my bed, but it is evident you are determined to do it. Well, I suppose you find the job troublesome. It’s of little consequence though because I’ve become comfortable with it already.” Some things are beyond our control because each person is allowed the freewill to choose and make decisions. Instead of losing the joy of life because of difficult situations, try gaining the joy of life by having a Christ-like attitude.
