I'm not sure why, but something small happened to me yesterday, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head.
I was on my way home from church, and while at a red light, I was trying to get something else done (multi-tasking is an art all Easter Pageant members try to accomplish). I totally wasn't paying attention, and the light turned green without my knowledge. Finally about 10-15 seconds later I realize it, but by then the light was turning yellow. I sped up and made the turn, but the guy behind me was stuck at the new red light. I was mortified, because I thought he would be very angry, AND I had obviously just left church (with my "car fishie" and 93.9 blasting out the window). But as I looked in my review mirror he waved. He waved.
It's probably my aggresive driving that made this so surprising to me. I would have beeped. I would have slammed my hand against my steering wheel and probably been mad for the next 5 minutes. But he didn't do any of those things.
I know that's not something huge, but it taught me something. There's hardly anything that any driver could do that should get me mad the way I get sometimes. I don't know if that man had just left church right behind me, or if he was just another driver going about his Sunday business, but that little wave of "it's alright, we all do that sometimes" showed me Jesus more clearly than I've seen him in a while :).
