I have tried remembering Who I represent when I'm tempted to let road rage take over...that helps greatly. I remember once when my son was about 3 we were heading down the interstate to my mom's house. A guy suddenly comes up behind me and sits on my bumper. I tap my brakes (like my Momma taught me to) to send him the not-so-subtle message to get off my rear. He zooms around me, coming way too close. Instead of going all "righteous indignation" on him, I started blessing him in the name of Jesus...literally! I prayed that wherever he was going he would get there safely, yada yada yada, and he thought I was "blessing him out". HA! He flipped me off. :D<br /><br />Nowadays, I have a vanity plate with my nickname on it...helps me remember much better to act right! : )Heathahleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03526348513736437292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426132076624200849.post-76586409242133384542011-01-21T22:26:51.678-08:002011-01-21T22:26:51.678-08:00you are a better woman than i lol! when you stop t...you are a better woman than i lol! when you stop to think of what could have happened. you saved him a big headache of an increase in his insurance (had he hit your car), poss injury to you both, the waiting game of having your car in the shop, and on his part a big lecture from his wife (if he is married). you did the right thing :) God's grace is right. have a great weekend. <br />blessings,<br />aimeeaimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11465250814524292154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426132076624200849.post-59438941717438612932011-01-21T10:06:07.428-08:002011-01-21T10:06:07.428-08:00There are lots of people I hope don't remember...There are lots of people I hope don't remember my car. Inconsiderate drivers are tough for me. I wonder if I showed grace rather than anger if they might be taken aback & more thoughtful next time? I don't want to even think about how my children would be changed if they just WATCHED me show grace instead of anger each. Great post. Much needed reminder even if I feel like my gut has been punched.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530382766911594832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426132076624200849.post-30853529838295851152011-01-21T04:40:37.810-08:002011-01-21T04:40:37.810-08:00With driving a school bus - I see all kinds of &qu...With driving a school bus - I see all kinds of "bad" drivers. I often wonder if the town couldn't pass a by-law that states "no cars, trucks, bicycles, pedestrians etc on the roads from 8am - 9am and 3pm - 4pm"<br />That would make my life WAY easier!Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08732387420063891643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7426132076624200849.post-78794645388087269532011-01-20T20:55:35.706-08:002011-01-20T20:55:35.706-08:00great reminder! thanks.great reminder! thanks.Bobbie - Clumsy Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14080066513679622446noreply@blogger.com
