DAILY REFLECTIONS
1) we reacted, more strongly to frustrations than normal people.
-AS BILL SEES IT, p. 111
Impatience with other people is one of my principal failings. Following a slow car in a no passing lane, or waiting in a restaurant for the check, drives me to distraction. Before I give God a chance to slow me down, I explode, and that’s what I call being quicker than God. That repeated experience gave me an idea. I thought if I could look down on these events from God‘s point of view, I might better control my feelings and behavior. I tried it, and when I encountered the next slow driver, I levitated and looked down on the other car and upon myself. I saw an elderly couple driving along, happily chatting about their grandchildren. They were followed by me, bug eyed and red of face- who had no time schedule to meet anyway. I looked so silly that I dropped back into reality and slowed down. Seeing things from God‘s angle of vision can be very relaxing.
2) “I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.”
-Martin Luther
DAILY INSPIRATION
3) It is not as significant to have a good life, but rather to do good things with your life. Lord, I am grateful for the talents with which You have blessed me and I pray that they will not go unused.

4) May problems will be averted with a very simple code of behavior. This is called ‘kindness.’ Kindness is more than politeness; it means a warm concern for the other person’s feelings. I let my kindness be a gift to another and the tag reads, ‘Please handle with tender loving care.’
