I Reap What I Sow

road trip

Day two in Ketchum. We awoke to more freezing rain. So what do you do on a cold, miserable, down pour kind of day in a ski town? Certainly not ski! You shop the cute boutique stores instead.

Our traveling buddy, Teresa, commented that the shop keepers in Bozeman, Montana were much friendlier than those in Ketchum, Idaho. That comment pricked my conscience. I think the fault was mine, not theirs.

For every shop keeper who greeted us with, "Hello, how are you?", I grumbled back, "Disappointed and bummed that it's raining so we're not skiing." I was surly and they responded in kind after an attempt or two to say, "There's nothing I can do about the weather but how can I help you?"

I reap what I sow.

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. (2 Corin 9:6)
