Today at at least three different times I started to write my blog. Hours have past, and I'm finally able to resume my writing, which now leads to a whole new topic than the one I originally planned. In fact I vaguely recall what my first blog topic was. You see thats how I blog. An inspiration at a given moment and a blog is born.
I used to be the type of person who just could not stand interruptions. You could be in the middle of needing to seriously concentrate and WAM something happens, and we are faced with usually another persons problem, or someone needs you for something.
Nothing can be a joy robber more than life's disruptions. Nothing can point out just how well you really have the golden rule established in your life, then when you are called on God's carpet but it's on someone else's clock. Oh sure I absolutely love being able to help others, and the whole do unto others motto is great when I get to pick the when where's and how's.
My first attempt at this blog was put on hold. My granddaughter has swimming class, could I help out with my other granddaughter and babysit while Gabby gets to class. In the back of my mind a few things occurred. I'll get back to finishing what I was doing a little later, I can't wait to see my grandchildren I thought.
Second attempt was when a half a ton of wood was dumped in my front yard for my son and his family. Pa winters have proven to be brutal at times and wood burners need wood. A very kind gift disposed itself on my front lawn, and I was redirected to load my sons firewood, and deliver it with a 20 minute ride, and about another hour to unload the truck.
By about now the person who is driving slow in front of me is teaching me how to harness my impatience, and suddenly I am aware of how inconvenient this day is turning out to be. Again I am suddenly aware of how a bunch of negative attitudes can easily cost us freedom to receive the blessing of doing unto others.
Attitudes, they help or hinder a blessing. Like Zig Ziglar says Sometimes you need a "Check Up" from the Neck Up" to elimanate "Stinkin Thinkin" and AVOID "Hardening of the Attitudes."
