Late bus…

Some mornings just start out bad and get worse from there, you know that feeling. First, you wake up later than you wanted to, then it takes you the customary 10 – 15 minutes to literally wake up – even though you got up., and then the worse thing – especially if you ride city transportation… you get to the bus stop and realize that you missed the bus that you really wanted to catch, so you have to wait 30 minutes until the next one comes (hopefully on time). Then you get downtown, but your bus that gets you to your work has already left… so now you've got another 30 minute wait until that bus makes it downtown. What a bad day that is…

Well, you know maybe the bad day for you is not really a bad day at all. Maybe, just maybe the bad day is a divine appointment that you have been given by God to share His love with someone on the bus. It could just be that it was meant for you to miss those few busses so that you could be in the right place, at the right time. In addition, maybe the road construction that stops the bus along the way is a way to get you to calm down and relax so that you will be able to share without being upset. Some days we just need to realize that God is in control and that He places us where He desires us to be – when he desires us to be there. Oh yeah, one more thing to realize, sometimes the flagman at the construction site allows way too many cars through at a time, but maybe that is another way to just realize to relax and take it easy. Some days do start out bad, yet if we handle those trials correctly, we can overcome the more difficult ones too.
