Just imagine I put the lyrics to 'Drive My Car' by the Beatles here. As straightforward as those lyrics are, today I think it'd be fun to not bother.
God likes to show me things in the car, as you have seen from my previous blog entries. Maybe he's making up for lost time - I was a bit of a late learner. The latest example occurred last night.
It was raining and the person in the lane next to me must have been struggling with visibility. I know the road well and was keen to get past them, even though it was raining and I have had accidents in the rain before ... I was thinking my newer better car might serve me better in a tricky situation than the last one. When the person in the neighbouring lane started drifting significantly into my lane, I beeped them impatiently and sped past them when they moved.
About a kilometre down the road, still driving impatiently home and my struggling friend now trailing me, a possum ran out on the road. I couldn't slow down quick enough. He was still lying on the road when I looked back in my rear vision mirror. I think I created some road kill last night.
I'm glad that God continues to persevere with teaching me patience on the road, and I pray I heed the lesson quickly.
