IMPATIENT? TRY LEVITATING

Daily Reflections - June 10

We reacted  more  strongly  to  frustrations  than  normal people.

AS BILL SEES IT, p. I l l

Impatience  with  other  people  is  one  of  my  principal failings. Following a slow car in a no-passing lane, or waiting in a restaurant for the check, drives me to distraction. Before I give God a chance to slow me down, I explode,  and that's  what  I call  being quicker than  God. That repeated experience gave me an idea. I thought if I could look down on these events from God's point of view, I might better control my feelings and behavior. I tried it and when I encountered the next slow driver, I levitated and looked down on the other car and upon myself. I saw an  elderly  couple  driving  along,  happily  chatting  about their grandchildren. They were followed by me—bug-eyed and  red  of  face—who  had  no  time  schedule  to  meet anyway. I looked so silly that I dropped back into reality and slowed down. Seeing things from God's angle of vision can be very relaxing.
