Everything?

If anyone missed it, Isaiah broke his elbow by wrestling with his brothers. How did we know? Because he cried for longer than one minute, which is rare for him. His cast was on for about a month and a half and he was such an example to all of us in his great attitude. He never once complained and even acted as if it were normal to have one arm! I was amazed. I have always struggled with this scripture from Philippians 2:14 "Do EVERYTHING (even while in pain) without complaining or arguing." Isaiah brought this scripture to life. Everything is not only physical pain, but emotional pain, things not going our way, chores or projects we have to do, serving people we don't like, etc. Jesus is our ultimate example in his life and death. Isaiah showed us all it is still possible, no matter your age or situation. The cast is off now and he is back in action without skipping a single beat.
