Sometimes I Just Have to Tell Myself
WORDS FROM W.W. November 30, 2015
People don’t always act properly or respond reasonably. It makes me wonder what is behind their rude behavior and insensitive treatment.
And so when I encounter someone who seems to give off an aura that the world revolves around him/her I now try to slow down and begin a sentence with the following words: Sometimes I just have to tell myself…
It sounds like this!
Sometimes I just have to tell myself…
…that when a new checkout person at Target comes to our life that is five deep, says “I can take the next person in line”, and the last person in line rushes over to her he obviously has a wife in labor at the hospital and needs to get his deodorant bought, his Hamburger Helper home, and his orange juice chilled.
…that Peter Fonda, who is weaving in and out of traffic on his Harley at eighty is really a surgeon on the way to the hospital to do a heart transplant…or to deliver the baby of Example Person #1!
…that the lady who is walking smack dab down the middle of the grocery aisle with no hint of moving to the right has macular degeneration and can’t see me…or the grandchild that is with me!
…that the multitude of video games whose objective is to have the gamer kill people, zombies, monsters, or aliens has no relation to the increasing number of shooting deaths that seem to be everyday occurrences now.
…that my cell phone bill is just an illusion, not the reality.
…that Trump didn’t really just say that, did he?
…that God must get amused from time to time when he sees what various churched people believe is important…and of no importance.
…that the message isn’t the sermon.
…that the guy spouting “f-bombs” probably went to a high school that didn’t offer Public Speaking as a class he could take.
…that its okay to go to a movie because you have a yearning for popcorn.
…that grandkids are God’s reward to you for living through the adolescent years of your own kids.
…that God loves me despite my stupidity!
