Patience and Kindness

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 brakes 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!
