Whatever you do, has repercussions. How you treat one person is how, down the road somewhere, you will be treated as well.

Well, if there was, I would not remember it at my age. Then, as I stood
there with my jaw dropped to the floor, she began laughing 
hysterically. 

“Ha, ha, ha, I got you.” 

But it wasn't over yet. 

The next Sunday after the church service, on our way home, my wife
looked at me rather soberly and said, "Honey, did you by any cigars 
today while you were preaching?" Then she laughed heartily, and I 
mumbled under my breath as I gritted my teeth. 

I didn't understand where she was going with this, and then she said
something else, "By the way, I did not buy any wine today while playing 
the piano." Again she laughed. 

When she said that, I understood where all of this was coming from. 

Right then and there, we made a pact. I won't ask her about buying wine
if she doesn't ask me about buying cigars on a Sunday. 

It just showed me that things have a way of coming back on me. I need to
learn to let some things go even though I might be tempted to use them 
for my entertainment. 

I'm sure down the road, somewhere, some time, there will be an
opportunity for me to indulge in this entertainment. I must keep in 
mind, what I think I have, my wife also has. 

I was reminded of what the apostle Paul said. “Be not deceived; God is
not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” 
(Galatians 6:7). 

I thought about that for a while. Whatever you do, has repercussions.
How you treat one person is how, down the road somewhere, you will be 
treated as well.
