Okay so I saw this picture today and had to laugh...as it went along with my Bible Reading Today...which you may not concur....but it is my blog :)
I was reading today about Joseph in the prison. Clearly if anyone had a "right" or reason to have a pity party he had a free pass for years to come. But we find him in the prison....asking prisoners how they are doing...
Genesis 40:6-7 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
6 When Joseph came to them the next morning, he saw that they were dejected. 7 So he asked Pharaoh's officials who were in custody with him in his master's house, "Why are your faces so sad today?"
So here he is…with a killer excuse as to why not care about others…but we find that he is caring for and serving others. If you are going through adversity in your life- True Godly Character- reaches out to help and serve others. We see that through his extremes Joseph’s character remained the same. The challenge in serving HIM is not to face battles, for each one of us will face them- it is how they will affect our Godly Character.
Some days you have to sit back and say…Thank you Jesus for testing my character today…for I hope to prove you strong. Then just sit back on your porch eat a bag of popcorn, drink a whole can of diet coke, and just smile. Cause baby your next address is fellowship with the KING!

As an Elementary Aid to Kindergarten, which involves standing around doing nothing, and taking toddlers to the bathroom and making photo copies when I do actually get to do something, I thank you for this post!
