Don't Worry, Be Happy

Easier said than done sometimes, and God really slapped me around this afternoon over just this issue.

I had a hectic morning, getting the girls ready for school and Lee was here so I was making him a bologna, egg & cheese english muffin, that man loves those things. We were already running behind schedule and then as we were leaving I realized that the dog was outside and he wasn't coming when I called. (He got shot with a BB 2 days ago so we are trying to keep him close to home, usually chained up but I thought he would come right back this morning, WRONG!)

Anyway, we get down to the main road and there he was so I threw him in the back of my Aztek and went to drop off the girls. A few hours later, I got a call reminding me about some movies I needed to return so I went out again. I returned the movies, went to the post office and then stopped at Wal-mart.

While there, Lee called. I'll just say that there wasn't exactly beautiful music playing in the background as we spoke. He thought I was being short. Maybe I was. But I was in a bad bad mood and he wasn't exactly all smiles and rainbows either.

So then Drew and I went to McDonalds....of course they got my order wrong and the burgers were not even really wrapped, they were falling apart. I was ready to cry I was so mad and disgusted.

At that moment, just as I turned my radio up the evangelist was saying this,"Would anybody look at you and say, look, there's a Christian, I want a double dose of what they have!!?"

NO.....I thought about how I must have looked at Wal-mart, pouting, talking ugly to Drew and I probably had a scowl on my face the whole time. I am embarrassed of the way I acted.

I really needed that reality check in the car....thank you Lord for speaking to me so loud & clear!

I love it when He makes His words for me so obvious.
