Well, it happened again – another pet
peeve moment!
Just about nothing grates on my nerves
more than someone encroaching on my personal space. And the worst place for
this to happen is in the check-out line.
There I was, once again this morning
picking up a few groceries at the store, even remembered to ask for postage
stamps, but when I turned to reach for them, someone’s face was in the way!
UGGH!
She was in such a hurry to toss her 14
jars of baby food down the belt assuming I’d completed my transaction….yet, I
ended up snarling my way out of the store toward the parking lot thinking how
completely rude the woman was to push me on my way before I’d had a chance to
stuff my debit card back into my wallet!
I tossed my few bags in the trunk and
suddenly realized I was in a God moment.
I wondered about the times I
may have done the same thing to Him. I wonder how many times I’ve decided He’s had
enough time to accomplish what I want Him to, only to sort of push Him
aside thinking it’s my turn to assume control.
Wow….have you ever
done that?
(Psalm
27:14 NIV)
Yes. I have and thank you... I needed this reminder just now! Love you friend :)
ReplyDeleteI sometimes have these moments when I am upset about an issue. I get bent out of shape and then catching myself and saying, "It's my own fault." Or, "I'm the cause of this." Thank you for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteOh, Debbie, this is priceless! I get so irritated in the grocery stores, too. Unfortunately, I have been that person who wishes the gal in front of me would just hurry up and get out of my way. I won't be doing that again!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I have nudged God out of the way when I thought he was taking a bit longer than I liked. Yikes!
Thanks for the eye-opener!
Blessings, Jan
