Driving for Christ

It is sad but when we get behind the wheel of our car we tend to become competitive. You hear about road rage. This happens when a driver becomes so incensed by what he considers to be the heartless act of another that he does something foolish. This sometimes ends up with two wrecked cars and possibly someone injured or dead. I have become aware of the fact that we do not always have traffic lights at every intersection or every shopping mall. People can become so impatient that they try something foolish. I would rather motion them in the lane in front of me rather than have a catastrophe.
Hence this next poem.

Driving for Christ

 

If we truly love our Lord and Savior we show it in all we say and do.

That includes how we love our family with a love that’s pure and true .

It causes us to expand our family to friends and neighbors and even strangers.

We protect these people as much as possible from all of life’s horrid dangers.

Have you ever thought that it also affects the way we drive our car each day?

If we compete with others for the better lane of traffic are we living our lives Gods way?

A smile on your face and a tap on your horn will let the other drivers know.

That you are willing to help them out and you will wait for them to go.

One good deed inspires another and if you can start with that one good deed

Maybe it will touch someone’s heart and soul and he will help others in need.

 

The love of God is shown in everything we say and do.

So you see, this is a good way to forward the love to another as a gift freely given from you.

Slow down and live.  Give the right-a-way make God’s love part of your style.

You will live a better life on Earth and you will see Heaven with a smile.

Good Word! When we let God have control, we can't go wrong; even when a car run over the top of you (as it did with me)witin one week, I was on the road with a new car. God is truly so Good!
Peace&Grace,
Sharon

I hope that's not your car Lew...I must admit I'm appalled at some of the idiots on the road over here. Perhaps they should read this.

Wise advice that we all can use; that is one reason I don't have a car. It makes it inconvenient, but I refuse to drive here in Texas; they drive like maniacs, and they terrify me!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

I have been in several wrecks myself; not fun, but thank God I wasn't hurt. God had His Hand on me~ :)

Wise advice for all us drivers who lose their tempers while driving.

You have penned another good one here, Lew. Road rage! Other translations...ignorance...stupidity...self-hate...impatience...lack ability to "love thy neighbor as thyself". Sad, really. Common courtesy is rare these days; and those who are courteous have to be careful as well because their kindness might be taken the wrong way.

God Bless

How true it is....our pastor actually preached about getting so caught up and angry or upset over things that we have no control over. One of them was road rage...hit me like a ton of bricks, or shall I say that he stepped on my toes...I'll just admit it, I got condemned. I still tend to get a bit uneasy sometimes, but I made my self a promise that I would try my best to leave the house every morning at least twenty minutes earlier than I really need to, just to avoid having road rage, and guess what...I am work on time and early most of the mornings, I have time for an extra cup of coffee, my blood pressure is lower, and spirituallyI feel better and happier when I arrive at work and happier with myself...great poem and great advice.
Blessings,
Joyce Bowling

Lew,

This is a fantastic write...and what a beautiful ending. I pray against road rage, and all manner of bad behaviors every day. If the peace of God were in every heart - what a difference we would see!

"And whatsoever you do, do it heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men." Colossians 3:23

Bless you,
Rhonda
