For many of us who already understand, life sometimes, “plays us” hard and we can get out of tune. We can lose track of the melody and/or sing out of tune with the others flowing in God’s plan. Singing in harmony sounds and feels really good, but when we don’t, well it can sour the whole song. Not only does it make it difficult for the other singers, but is also not pleasing to the ears of our, “Audience of One.” It’s O.K., it happens. The important thing is to recognize it before the audience or other choir members have to inform us! Regular communication with God, His word and His people can help us keep, “in tune” with The Holy Spirit. After all, I don’t want to sound like, “Barney in the Choir” to God.

After he tells the florist the obvious mistake and how angry he is, the florist replies, “Sir, I’m really sorry for the mistake, but rather than getting angry, you should imagine this. Somewhere there is a funeral taking place today, and they have flowers with a card saying, ‘Congratulations on your new location.’
