My days

I had a thought yesterday......
Where else can I go in a days time and get.....
Hit on
Spit on
Praised
Cussed at
Be a saint
And a liar?
I can only laugh at all of it.

This is amazing to me in that of all the stuff I get to have happen to me in a days time is all part of a puzzle.A BiG picture where I only get to see bits and pieces. It's All part of Gods divine plan for His glory through my life. It's not easy to go through some of the difficult situations, but trying to keep a Godly perspective is key. Knowing I don't have to figure it all out is comforting. Knowing it's already been in the works, so to speak, for an unknown amount of time leaves me with a whole peaceful outcome.

It's no secret that I love to meet new people. The other day I was with my husband at the Burger King. An older gentleman was in front of us in line and I asked him how his day was. My husband just shook his head. This is funny because my husband used to be the one to talk to everyone. He has the kind of personality that when he talks to even a stranger it's like he's known the person all his life....he's that comfortable. He's taught me well over the years. Haha.
Yesterday, I had to get a rental car. I was waiting for the car at the shop where I dropped my vehicle off. When the rental car man got there he said he had to take me back to the office to fill out papers and the car would be given to me there. This wasn't communicated to me at all.... (Another problem with society.....communication is very bad) anyway, this poor man was an introvert......I could tell right away. He seemed shy and nervous and older than me. I felt bad that he had to come so far just to take me back to the office. So....I talked the whole ride back. He was probably wanting me to shut up.....but that didn't happen. I talked of the accident I was in (why I needed the rental in the first place), my job, his job, etc....

However, what I failed to do was talk about Jesus. I had a prime opportunity to talk about how our Savior is awesome and loves us.....and I blew it. I'll be the first to admit I struggle with this part of being a Christian. I'm sure I'm not alone, but it's not easy to talk of Him right off the bat. At least not for me. I am good at establishing a relationship with someone and then getting to what needs said, once we know one another better. This is an area I really need to work on and need Gods help with.

So my days are filled with people from all walks of life. Some hate me.....some love me.....some want to strangle me.....some want to hug me. Whatever the case, I am ok with it. I am ok with being that person just so I keep the perspective that it's all meant for good. Once we lose our perspective on life and how God does things, we can get lost. People are people. God made us all in His time and His ways. We are to love Him first and His people second.
Jesus said that himself......Matthew 22:36-40.
