Cous Cous

Arriving home late, I decided to try something quick, my first bowl of Cous Cous. Sadly for me I paired it with the one thing that Cous Cous does NOT seem to go with, Tuna! Bleeeh! I tried to finish it but it just wasn't going to go down so I had to toss it and try something else for dinner. Salad. Both sad and boring.

There are some things in life that just do not go together, like a bad attitude and success. Being grumpy and difficult will just not produce in us the strength needed to achieve success in life.

If we want to walk the spiritual road to success it will have to require a willingness to humble ourselves and change our attitude towards the process of learning. As we learn we grow and our attitude turns to reflect the heart and love of Christ.
