Love One Another

On Wednesday, Lampasas’ newest Chinese eatery shared an “exciting announcement” to their Facebook page. “Happy Panda Chinese Cuisine is thrilled to unveil our new name – formerly Mei Yuan Chinese Cuisine” the post stated. It goes on to mention features such as a new buffet coming and reminded customers they can always BYOB. “We’re working diligently behind the scenes to ensure a smooth and seamless reopening for all our amazing customers.” Amid rumors and backlash over circumstances surrounding the re-branding, it seems that the company’s owners may have an uphill battle ahead of them. But what I have also seen is that some Lampasans have been presented with a great opportunity to decide what kind of neighbors they will CHOOSE to be. It is with a “love thy neighbor” mentality that I am speaking to you now to remind you it’s ok to be angry, but sin not. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but only that which is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen (Ephesians 4:26-29, mixed versions). Let it be, leave the judgment to the Lord, and look for another “happy place” if the Happy Panda’s not it for you. - MG
