The "Higher"-road---Always!

 
Blessings!
(taken from a borrowed Sunday-sermon)
 
Caught dawdling with my chariot’s radio in the
“pick-up”-order drive-thru line at a fast food
service-store, Mrs. Patience behind me laid on her
blaring horn, rolled down her side window and let
fly an avalanche of vile-“expletives” enough to
make a sailor blush while “single’-diget saluting me.
 
Being un-kind to me sainted-mother and cursing
“simple-humble” I black and blue to black, again,
she ignored her crying 4-children, save to administer
some un-tamed tongue-lashing in their direction, also.
 
When I, at long-last, arrived to the pick-up window,
I asked the attendant to add the tab of the car behind
me, along with 5—strawberry sundaes,  to my bill,
which I paid “in-full”, and to wish the driver a “God bless!”
from me when she pulled-up to retrieved her “Sweetened”-order.
 
I pulled away, slowly, with my package while watching the
reaction of my nemesis in the rear-view mirror. Her face
reddened as the clerk informed her that the “idiot” in front
of her had paid her bill and added some sweet-“pleasure”
to her treasure. The kids quickly waved their “Thank you!”
 
As I pulled away, I signed a “Pope’s” blessing in the mirror.
 
So!? What’s the big deal?---
 
Let there be Peace! on earth…
 
And, let it begin with…me!
 
Amen!
