DO YOU REALLY THINK GOD IS MAD AT ME?

My dad would work from sunrise to past sunset, to provide for us. If he had anything extra he would share it with anyone in need; food, clothes, gloves, wood for the stoves and or a ride to town. Once, I wanted another pair of shoes and knowing he had extra work, I asked him to buy me the shoes. He said, "no because you have shoes and the neighbors don't have any". Whatever happened to Colossians 3:12?, "Put on therefore, holy and beloved bowels of mercies, kindness, meekness and long-suffering". Then he said, "if I don't buy you the 'extra shoes', DO YOU THINK GOD IS MAD AT ME?" He was right, I did not have Spiritual awareness of HOLY THINGS to appreciate the SPIRITUAL THINGS OF CHRIST!  I have learned to be careful of where I "cast my pearls".
