My latest work trip has been filled with various flight delays, seat changes and gate changes. But it really hasn’t been an issue, because I have had a peaceful attitude and one of gratitude and thankfulness. Literally as I write this post, I hear a person behind me complaining about a slight flight delay to anyone who will listen. The staff are tired, the pilots are frustrated, and the last thing that anyone needs is for passengers to be rude and obnoxious.

When you have an attitude of kindness and joy, little things like this don’t matter as much. Without question, no one likes it when life doesn’t go according to plan, but thus is life.

Find joy in our relationship with Jesus and the goodness that He provides, and share this with others through your actions and words. Do this even and especially when things go wrong. It will make life so much better for everyone and it will reflect the light of Jesus in this world.
