I went outside looking for a photo opportunity. Some really nice flowers I had in mind didn’t turn out so nice because of recent rain. These bright flowers caught my eye, so I got up close. When I saw the spider web, my first thought was, Oh yuck.
On closer inspection the webs had some nice water drops on them, so I grabbed a photo. They don’t show up as well as I hoped, but the drops are kind of interesting. I wonder what the spider thinks of them.
It reminds me that some situations may seem yucky at first. Or it may seem like it is a pain to do the right thing in some cases. But as we get into it, we see that fixing something or helping someone out can be rewarding and not as terrible as was thought.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
Philippians 2:3-4
With the right attitude, things that previously seemed yucky can turn out quite nicely.
