Oh dear

It is amazing where stress points come when you get busy. Ours are often around meal times. Breakfast turns into a misery of someone has got down too late and is in a rush. This morning was certainly a smashing time. And then everyone gets to work stretched thin and miserable. Does Jesus have anything to teach us? I'm not sure but I've been teaching the Gethsemane story recently and I guess that is certainly a time of stress. So what does he do? Well, he anticipates it, praying and conquering in advance. Then when it comes to it, he seems to stay calm whatever is thrown at him, and however badly everyone, friend or foe, behaves. There may just be a lesson there...
