Day 12 of " A Quarter of Love"

Today was a good day I started it off by working on a project I had due for school and at about 12 o'clock I was almost done when my computer shut off. I was confused at first but then once it came on i was relieved. I re opened power point to see that none of my work had been saved. Frustrated yet not defeated I stopped face booking and got to work. Thank God I was able to get all my thoughts back together and complete that section of my project.

Any who later on that day I went with some friends to go shop for sadies shirts. After we found our shirts half of us headed to church for praise team practice. Praise practice was a blessing because we were worshiping and spending time with God instead of just worrying about the music which is something Sean preaches all the time haha. We then finished our praise practice and decided we would go out to get dinner so we headed for cross roads.

I dropped off Sean and Brian at McDonald's and headed to L&L to drop off Anna and Daniel and to pick up Lindsey who wanted to eat Inn-n-out like I did. I pulled up in front of L&L and Anna and Daniel began to hop out while Lindsey was waiting to get in. Just then a White BMW on my left was gonna pull out but they stopped waiting for me to move. Lindsey hoped into the car and right when I was about to pull away this man in the White BMW was outside of his car and next to my window.

I thought he needed help or something, then he motioned for me to roll down my window so I smiled rolled down my window and said hello.His responds was for me to hurry up, and that he was waiting to get out. It had taken about 20seconds for my friends to get in and out of my car. I replied that I was sorry and that I was just waiting to get my friends real quick. His response was that he didn't give a F*** and for me to move out of the way. At this point I was a little confused but I told him I was sorry again and pulled off.

At this point I was gonna tell Lindsey something about Inn-n-Out but she was in shock by that mans response. She asked me how could I be calm and not do anything and asked if I was alright. At this point I started to laugh not only at her shock at me but at the whole situation. I explained to Lindsey that, for one we do not know what situation that man was in. He could have gotten a emergency phone call and wanted to go somewhere right away. Also he could have had a bad day or its possible he could have just been rude.

However what ever his reason theres no reason for me to get offended by it because things like that happen. Also retaliating in a situation like that wont solve the problem but will only prolong the chaos. So after explaining all of this to Lindsey we laughed and continued on with our dinner.
It was a blessing showing kindness to that man even if he didn't care about me. I was in the wrong for making him wait and true thats no reason for someone to be rude but I'm thankful that God kept us away from hurt harm or danger and hoped that that man got home safely.

Its not easy to show kindness to your enemies but thats what Love is all about.
