Three wishes
Conor asked me the other day if I had three wishes, what would they be. I had to think about it and could only come up with 2. The first is to never want for money, the second was for my kids to be happy healthy well adjusted people. Of course I can think of all manner of other things. Like to end world hunger or for all people to "come to Jesus". I think that would be messing with what God has set into place.
Today was a good day until I left work and then it started to suck really bad. I had to go to the store to get stuff for snacks at church. Rude thoughtless people managed to get under my skin and really make me mad. I had to do serious 4 square breathing or I was going to come out of the car and actually inflict some road rage after I had left the ignorant people at the store. Why, as a society, are we so rude and self centered? Where have manners gone?
I think I am going to write a book about modern day manners titled "Manners in the new millennium" and I will go something like this:
Dear readers, manners no longer exist and for the few kind and thoughtful people who are left in the world, please bend over and spread your cheeks.
That is all that would need to be in it.
What makes me sad is that I have let people who are like that affect me so that I have not made sure I don't become bitter and hardened by such actions of others. I should be the one who says excuse me, and thank you and all those things that are slowly but surely dying.
Lord, God, Please help me to be more like you and love the ingonrant ass holes out there, cause I know you love them a whole lot more than I do right now. And help me to realize that I too am an ignorant ass as well, and that I need to keep my eyes on you in order to even think that I could love anyone other than myself. AMEN!!
