Not so super villian, Ughly Man



I suspect every one has a situation that tends to brings out the sinful side. For me it's driving in congested traffic. I shock myself in how quickly I can become ugly. Yesterday the Friday before Memorial weekend and here I am in Tacoma, this is the third session of bumper to bumper traffic and it is only 1 PM .
People are cutting in and just being stupid and I feel my temperature rising. After informing the latest driver that he is a Bozo, something I'm sure came as no surprise to him.
I look and lying in the passenger seat next to me asleep is both of our 2 small dogs. Gracie raises one eye because I'm expounding my intimate expressions, but Ruthie just sleeps.
The scene reminds me of what my mom once said, "I would be a pretty nice person if it wasn't for you kids."

I figure if I am this ugly, I have used up all of my goodness, so I say "your patience Lord, your Love".

And instantly chariots of fire clear a path for me and I am escorted by beautiful angels.
OK so maybe it doesn't go quite that way, but what does take place is I draw from GOD's ability, his patience, his love. And if my attitude is really ugly I start thanking GOD for all my blessingss.
Sounds like a formula, oh it is , GOD so desires us to use him and live in him.

  1. Hah! For you it's traffic. For me it's waking up in the morning - and that's just the beginning!

    Good thoughts, Ted, and so true.

    God bless,
