A New York family bought a ranch out West where they intended to raise cattle. Friends visited and asked if the ranch had a name.
“Well,” said the would-be cattleman, “I wanted to name it the Bar-J. My wife favored Suzy-Q, one son liked the Flying-W, and the other wanted the Lazy-Y. So we’re calling it The Bar-J-Suzy-Q-Flying-W-Lazy-Y.”
“But where are all your cattle?” the friends asked.
“Well, none survived the branding!”
You just can’t satisfy everyone. There are times that an intelligent decision has to be made for the good of all. Here are some helpful verses.
Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name.
Give it some thought and, before God, make a decision that will help instead of hurt.
