In my truck driving to do some quick work on the church bulletin boards this morning, I ran into a driver who I decided was unfit to be on the road. You know them....they are all over....out there driving in front of us, doing things that just completely baffle and irritate. Now, one of my "areas that need work" is the bad habit of complaining about these other travelers I share the roadways with (and there in lies the problem....why do I have to share the roadway anyway!!! LOL)
So, of course this person did something I didn't approve of. Or so I thought. I'm saying to myself, "why doesn't this person just go around the turning vehicle in front of him, what's he waiting for anyway!!" ( I did mention I was on my way to do work for God at the church, right! LOL) Only to then notice that he too was making a turn....gee I guess that's why he didn't go around the turning car in front. LOL Okay, not to be put off with my complaining....I started to say (and yes I am saying it out loud at this point) something else about this person's driving decisions, and I couldn't. Literally the words coming out of my mouth were garbling up, just stumbling over my tongue....I couldn't get the words to say anything intelligible! Do ya think God was trying to tell me something. It's like He just sat down and grabbed my lips and made me unable to speak sensibly, which I wasn't going to be doing anyway because what complaining is actually sensible!
Ok, I said this area was a definite work in progress, and I thank You Lord for doing this today. I pray that I will continue to work with You in this area. And get better and better at being patient and seeing others with a kind spirit.
