It is easy to get offended and make a big deal out of something that will not matter down the road or in the big picture of life. We have to go against the norm, upstream, uphill in the snow to keep our mind on things above, to look at the big picture, to not get offended. In other words, it\u2019s not easy and it is hard work, but it is so rewarding afterwards to be able to look back and know that you handled that \u2018thing\u2019 the way God would have desired you handle it. In the same way we should also refrain from saying something, or word it in a way that causes the least likelihood of offense when talking to other people.
