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!

Great message! I've had more people cut in front of me in so many locations in Bakersfield that it is no longer funny or safe! I'm just glad that I wasn't in downtown Bakersfield Saturday night when all the cars were breaking all the laws, etc. STAY SAFE! Amen and GOD BLESS EVERYONE!
