There are days whereby I felt so down. Not that there are disappointments but a day is so dull and meaningless that you cant wait for it to end.
UNLUCKY?
I was finally on time to catch bus 70. It came, crowded, super packed. As the bus door opened allowing everyone to get up, while waiting, I saw passengers shifting in and my turn, the door shuts right in front of me! I was in a state of shocked! Thank God, I didnt place my foot on the stairs. "Grggghh.. What to do.." Imagined those who witnessed what had happened. Never mind, I shall take another bus and switched bus. Flagged at 109, to my horror, it turned earlier - to Hougang Pt instead of going straight. I remembered in primary sch we will always have the topic "Unlucky day".. haaha, if I have to write a composition, maybe I would write this.. hahah
IT'S A BLESSING
Well, if you believe you are unlucky, you will be. I just convinced myself, since I am already at H.P., may as well take my breakfast. And I saw - Mcdonald's meal. Been a long time since I haven taken MC's bf. probably a year? So, at times, it's a blessing. Always look out for the positive side. At least.. mmm.. i tried.
Today's devotion:
A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense. - Proverbs 19:11
Whenever we work close to another person, whether in an office or home, small offenses can become the source of great conflict. Resentment and irritability soon follow. God brings these "offenses" into our lives to develop character qualities in us. He uses individuals in our lives to accomplish his goal of making us more Christ-like. So the next time you complain or resist a habit or action from someone close to you, ask God if it has been placed there to develop some quality in you.Pride is the root source of the need to change another person. A man's wisdom gives him patience-to let go of little offenses. This is where spiritual maturity is seen in the day-to-day activity of life. Is there someone close to you who has some habit you really want to change? Give up that desire to the Lord. Who knows, He may even change it after you let go of the need to change it.
I laughed as I read; reminds me of morning incident. Also, my colleague who likes to make me angry, frustrated by passing sarcatics remarks or disagreements, always asking me whether I am angry. She likes to "test water" as she realised I am not the type who raised my voice and get annoyed easily. My answer "Nope - when I said that I know you felt angrier that I am not".. and smile... Winked winked
