PATIENCE

Craig Harrison's Coffee with Jesus reflections provide a healthy cup of daily inspiration to start your day. Cover art by

As I sit and have my coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about the word patience.  Yesterday, I was driving, and a car would not let me over into the next lane to exit the offramp.  Needless to say, I got frustrated.  I was waving and had many uncharitable thoughts.  

Thirty minutes later, I got back on the freeway going home, and a large truck was trying to move into my lane.  I flashed my lights and let him in.  He tapped his breaks as if to say, “Thank you”.  I felt that we created a friendship in that simple action.  When I passed him, we waved at each other.  I thought this was the way it was supposed to be.  

So today, be patient and kind, whether you encounter someone in person or on the road.  

Have a blessed day.  And drive carefully!
