Many years ago some relatives showed up at my dad's house and asked if they could stay there just until they got a place of their own, maybe a week or two. Dad, who had a very big heart, had no objections. Soon a week turned into a month and by the time they finally moved dad was very glad to see them go.

Unwanted company can create stress and a lot of it. Many people assume once they become a Christian their troubles are over…

I've been remembering alot of things in life.
