Bite My Tongue
I was ordering food for lunch today at one of our local fast food places. I said into the little silver box that I would like a cheeseburger with ketchup only. The voice on the other end said to me, "Do you want cheese on that?"

aaaaaaaaargh! Yes I bit my tongue and didn't say, "Well, yes doesn't a CHEESEBURGER come with cheese?" When sarcasm lies just under the surface it is always an effort to respond with gentleness and grace. Thankfully, God is bigger than me and He held my tongue in check.

I'm trying to understand where others might be coming from and not be short tempered or moronic to people who may need understanding.

Always room for grace.
