How not to answer the phone…:)

Hi!  Glad you’ve found me :)   As my about me section says, I am generally a happy  (I use the term loosely today)  person.     I was not having a good day when I had to run out to pick my daughter up from work 2 hours after just dropping her off. I had just heated up my lunch in  the microwave when  the phone rang.  She’s been really sick, so I knew I had to go get her. I tell her…. Ok, I’ll be there in 10 minutes.  My lunch has been overheated and is now dried out and cold again. 

I get to her work and sit there for 10 minutes waiting for her, I am getting very agitated that she isn’t outside waiting for me.  I call her cell 5 times consecutively and still she is not answering yet.  What is she doing???? I am getting more irritated and my cell phone rings and I ASSUME (know what they say about that? lol)  that it is her… Soooo, I answer the phone with a loud, irritated tone and say, “I am waiting out here!”  Only to find its not my daughter calling me!  It’s a woman who I have not talked to in a long time..She says excuse me? Talk about embarrassed!   I had a case of foot in mouth disease!  The moral of the story is this, we should always talk to our family with the same kindness and patience we would a stranger!   God is always showing us where we need more work.  Sure glad He doesn’t give up on us! :)
