Already we see the hustle of the holiday season. My car was hit in the Publix parking lot because there was just too much action for everyone to know where to look. It was just a small fender bender and will serve as a reminder to always be thankful during the holidays that God provides. That is the approach I decided to take.
I could have decided to allow the dent to be a reminder of a negative experience between two Floridians. I actually did not even have to decide this time. I automatically went to forgiveness and set the other driver free before I even looked at the dent. Looking back, it seems quite freeing. I guess I could have sat there and waited two hours for the police to file a report so his insurance would have to pay for a repair. But in the end, it was a so what? And I really liked it that way.
So your word of encouragement today. Even if it is someone else’s fault, pull a so what. Set yourself free.
