Let me begin this blog by sharing something that happened on the road just the other day. We were on our way home and there was a full-sized truck behind us. Cailey was driving the speed limit, yet the guy behind us was right up on her bumper. Then, in a no-passing lane, he guns it and passes her. What he did next was even more surprising. He slowed down to a ridiculous 25 mph right in front of us and maintained that pace for a good ¼ mile. When he turned off, he glared out his window at her with the most intense look of revenge.
I actually found this to be oddly humorous, and simply smiled and waved at him as we passed. Honestly, the most hilarious realization to me in this whole occurrence is that he was obviously in a huge rush to get somewhere fast…yet he was able to make time to drive even slower than my wife to make his point.
“Slowness to anger makes for deep understanding; a quick-tempered person stockpiles stupidity.” Proverbs 14:29 (Msg)
Whether it’s in traffic, at the register, or even the bank lobby…Lord, help me to have the patience and understanding toward others (despite what I have going on) so that my ignorance doesn’t cause someone else to see an incorrect image of you.
