One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.
We were
driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out
of a parking space right in front of us. My Taxi Driver slammed on his breaks,
skidded, and missed the other
car by just inches!
The driver of the other car whipped
his head around and started yelling at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.
And I mean, he was really friendly!
So I asked, "Why did you just do that?
That guy almost ruined your car
and sent us to the hospital!"
This is when my taxi driver taught me what
I now call, "The Law of the Garbage
Truck."
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.
They run around full of garbage,
full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it....
and sometimes they'll dump it on you.
Don't take it personally.
Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on.
Pray for them, they are in need.
Don't take their garbage and spread it
to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that God's people can't let garbage trucks take
over their
day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
so.....
"Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't."
