An Opportunity to Choose Peace
One evening as I was driving along I realized I had not eaten dinner and it was 7 o’clock already, so I drove through the drive-thru at Taco John’s. Since it was not the rush hour, my order was taken immediately. When I got up to the window to pay, the girl took my money and left. Usually they give you whatever drink you ordered while you wait for the food order, but she didn’t.
After waiting what seemed like a long time, I decided to go to Spirit. I heard the words, “Now you have a chance to practice patience my dear.” Then the thoughts came to me that, after all, my only purpose here is to heal, so now I get a chance to practice.
As I sat there thinking about it I was wondering why I would be in a rush anyway. It seemed that my whole life up until recently I had been rushing around like a chicken with my head cut off! Where did I think I was going? And what is the rush for?
Then I thought about a course I had been doing recently that said, “What is time for, but to heal?” So I sat very patiently and thanked Spirit for reminding me of that. The girl came to the window and handed me my drink, but no food yet. She did say she felt bad that it was taking so long. I told her not to worry and that everything is fine. She came one more time to the window and apologized again for the long wait. I again told her not to worry. I was really just enjoying the silence in the car and thinking how lucky I was to have Holy Spirit with me all the time. Whenever I need him he is “Johnny on the spot”!
Boy, was I thankful that I had this chance to talk with Spirit and and be given the chance to bless the employees that were preparing my food. The girl was so kind and apologetic. Finally, when she handed me my food she also handed me a card that she had punched all the way around the outer edges, and told me to present that card and my next meal was on them!
When I left there I was so glad I had been given another opportunity to heal my mind and to find the peace that was always there. I just had to sit quietly in my car and feel it! I was feeling very happy and grateful.
