Staying Cool When Your Car Door Gets Dinged

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all. 2 Thessalonians 3:16

It is so very exasperating to come out to a parking lot after shopping, a movie, or staying overnight at a hotel and a car next to you has dinged your car door so hard it left a dent and took paint off. This is a moment in time you have to choose the appropriate reaction. Of course it is terribly upsetting and could have been an accident by the person who did it, but still it makes you nuts if you let it. 

The response you choose shows a little bit of where you are in asking God to help you control your emotions. In the case of a door ding no one is around and even if they were you need to stay cool. 

It is bound to happen to you some time and maybe before it does is a good time to decide the appropriate response. Stay cool. Let it go. Get it fixed if you need to. Move on. Ok now go enjoy your day. 

PRAYER: Thank you Lord for the earthly possessions you have blessed me with. When something gets damaged help me to learn how to respond in a godly fashion. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
