Yesterday morning, the traffic was so snarled in Avon that I couldn’t get anywhere! If you were out in this area at that time you know what I’m talking about. We had a little bit of snow overnight and instead of it melting and dissolving; it melted and turned into a sheet of ice! Snow I can handle, but ice is a different story. The worst part was the feeling of being unable to control the situation and get my daughter to school. I could have walked her there faster than I was going.
After returning home in utter frustration and feeling sorry for myself in wasting time and getting nowhere, it dawned on me how small my problem was compared to those in a ditch or an accident. I was still able to go home and get some of my work done while waiting on the roads to improve and traffic subside. How easy it is to get caught up in how bad we have it, when there are plenty of others who have it much worse. I’m asking God to help me be grateful in all things during this busy season, so He can be seen in me and I can watch for Him in others.
