Winston Churchill

Lady Nancy Astor reportedly once remarked to Winston Churchill, “Winston, if you were my husband, I’d poison your tea.” Churchill replied, “Nancy, if I were your husband, I’d drink it!”

It is impossible to get along with everyone. That’s hard for some people to accept, but Jesus didn’t get along with everyone, so why would you expect to be able to do so?

I’m not saying that we shouldn’t try. Romans 12:18 says, “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” We should make every effort to have pleasant interactions with the people in our lives. However, some people make it impossible to have a peaceful relationship. If you have done your best, don’t fret over things that are out of your control.

And be careful whose tea you drink!
